T20 Repairing instead of throwing away
Look, connect the ideas and tell the story
- Repairing
- Objects
- People
Words and symbols to help us tell the story. Sizes and distances are not to scale.
A repairer mends a bicycle. Someone else fixes a chair. The objects can be useful again. Repairing takes skills and tools. When something cannot be repaired, we separate its materials in the right way.
Which object would you like to have repaired?
For the accompanying adult
