Thursday July 10th saw a fantastic evening of fashion shows here at Frankley Community High School. Students had been working all week to make frocks and other clothes entirely from re-used material.

It it is enterprise week and different groups have been doing different activies and our goup was chosen to do something with recycling. One of the things we did was interview John Rose the manager of recycling in Birmingham City Council.We learned a lots from from John Rose and we are grateful for the time he spent with us. One of the key questions we wanted to know is does it make sense for schools to recycle those thousands of plastic drink bottles we throw away. Listen to this and you will be surprised by what he has got to say and how passionate he is.The poeple in this group were all geeks!!!
