Year 5 had a whale of a time on Ocean Awareness Day. After looking at some awful pictures about the effect plastic waste can have on our ocean we tried to make a change.
One of our favourite activities was making a huge whale of plastic rubbish donated by some members of staff and some of our class (thank you to anyone who contributed).
We were learning about the negative effect plastic has on our oceans so we decided to recycle the plastic waste as a whale. Here is our finished product…
When you look at this think about these questions:
Why would you pollute our ocean?
Why would you throw rubbish on the floor?
Why would you do this to the animals?
After this, we made posters to raise awareness.
Finally, we used scratch to think about how the ocean can be explored.
What a great day!
