We are learning about Scottish animals and their habitats.  We want to help protect their habitats so we decided to go on a mission.

Today we went out to the playground to pick up litter because we know that litter is harmful to animals. We found lots of rubbish, especially sweet wrappers. We put a tally mark on the chart every time we found a piece of litter. Overall we had 436 tally marks, meaning that we found 436 pieces of litter in our playground. That is approximately one piece of litter per pupil.

Primary 3 were horrified to find so much litter, especially considering how harmful this can be for animals. We are determined to make a change at Redwell.
