  Now that you've learned all about composting and how it works, why not have a go at playing our composting game. If the main game is a bit tricky, there are versions for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2/3 which vary in challenge, number of items to sort and level of language used. Hope you enjoy!

  Our schools page has lots of fun activities for you to do at home or in your school, including things like making nettle soup, making paper seed pots, growing wild flowers or building your very own wildlife house in a corner of your garden.
