The end of the school holidays and so today was my first day back at work (school library).
The boys have been running a program to collect old mobile phones due to the environmental damage done by mining coltan (a component of the phones) to the habitat of the gorillas. It is being run by the Melbourne Zoo and you can read about it here.
We have posters and a toy gorilla to bring attention to the collection box in the library. Today at recess I had a surprise when one (or more) of the boys sat him in the chair to catch up on some reading....
The orangatan hanging from our airconditioning ducts is just another prop which the boys have really loved hanging from there....
