We have been finishing our learning on ocean pollution before moving onto another area of the topic.

We decided to make a classroom installation out of the types of plastic that make their way into our oceans. We worked as a whole-class team with everyone contributing to every aspect of the project.

 

At this station, the children were creating colourful fish to swim in and out of our installation.

 

Here, we were writing facts about the effects ocean pollution has upon the ocean environment and eco-system.

 

We used all of the bottle tops that everyone brought in to create a wave for our display.

 

We spent some time as a class on Thursday, creating the tentacles for our installation by stringing pieces of plastic onto strips of plastic bag.

 

For the main body of our installation, we painted an old umbrella and decorated it with strips of plastic bag to look like tentacles.

Our finished product. Great job, team!
