Year 0/1 Eco Warriors

 

Look at all the plastic lunchbox litter that has been found around the school 🫤

Today in Education for Sustainability Year 0/1 thought about how to keep rubbish out of the ocean. 

When we bring litter in our lunchboxes, sometimes it can fly away in the wind and can end up in the storm drains, which lead to the ocean. 

When litter reaches the ocean, animals like turtles can accidently eat it! 

We wanted to send a message to our school to remember to bring litter-free lunchboxes. We made fantastic turtle posters to help others remember what to do. Check them out by the library. 

Please pack a litter-free lunch!

Year Five Rangatira

 In the last two sessions Year 5 have been showing their leadership skills. 

We have been creating picture books to share with the Year One's to the knowledge we've gained about how to get to school safely. 

As well, today Year Five created presentations to promote Wig Wednesday and went around the classes. 

Next term we're looking forward to sharing our picture books and taking part in the Food for Thought program. 

Year One - Litter Less

 

Today Year One investigated the issue of plastic pollution.  First we watched a video about how plastic rubbish moves down the outside drains to the sea. 

Bianca "People drop the rubbish and it goes down the drain. It goes to the beach.  There's a pipe and it goes all the way through the pipe."

Erin "We can help pick up rubbish"

Eden "It's not good because the animals can eat it and they can die".

We collected litter from around the school and analysed what it was made from.  We wondered where all the  plastic packets came from.

Sam thought "Lunchboxes"

What can we do about it?  

"Take the food out of the packets at home" said Faye

"We should look around and pick up any rubbish"

"Bring a litterless lunch" Eden G

What a great idea.

We wondered how we spread the word about the problem and its solution.

Posters!

We got creative. First, we drew a turtle straight in permanent marker! Very brave. Then we created our turtle's environment. We ripped paper for the seaweed and we used PVA glue as bubbles. We can't wait to see what they look like finished 🐢🌊
