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 🐢🌊
