We produce too much of it and we should reduce, reuse and recycle - that was the message that Cycler, the recycling robot told all Rudston pupils this term when he visited school as part of a nationawide drive to get us all to think about this escalating problem.

The children were captivated by the robot and his 'minder', Dave Taggert, who form part of the Waste Watch organisation. The children all sang the 'Rubbish Rap' and were given booklets to take home after the assembly.
