Trash to Roads

Wake Up Kids — Friday, June 5, 2026 Ticky Tocket kicks off a high-energy Friday to celebrate the end of the week—perfect for stretching, smiling, and getting ready for a fantastic day! Science Spotlight: In Hawaii, scientists are collecting ocean plastic—like old fishing nets and bottle caps—and mixing it into road materials. That means harmful sea rubbish is getting a second life as strong roads that cars can drive on. How cool is that?

Kids, today’s challenge: recycle what you can and imagine new uses for old items at home or school. Weather — Lindfield: A chilly 12.4°C morning that feels even colder. Partly cloudy with a top of 20°C. Saturday is looking sunny—awesome for outdoor fun and eco-adventures! Thought for the Day: Switch on your imagination—what could an old box become? A rocket? A robot? A treasure chest? Don’t throw it; re-think it. Be kind to the planet and to each other. Sign-off: Have a fantastic Friday—see you Monday on Wake Up Kids!
