Recently, the school’s eco group met with Nic Coombey of Solway Firth Partnership to carry out a beach clean at Rockcliffe beach. before setting off on their mission to find things, the pupils first learned about the problems of plastic waste getting into our oceans.
Great job Eco Group. Such an important thing to do. Did you know Great British Beach Clean Day is on the weekend of 14th to 17th September? Perhaps you can organise another clean up (sadly I expect more rubbish and plastic will have washed ashore) or encourage pupils to visit the beach with their parents that weekend and collect a bag of rubbish. Maybe they could share a photo of what they collected and share it on your blog (ask your teacher to also post it to our D&G Full STEM Ahead Yammer group to encourage others to take part too). Just imagine what a difference it would make if every family collected just one bag of rubbish!
Keep up the good work!
