In Primary 4b, we have been keeping an eye on the RSPB website for the results of the bird watch we recently took part in. On this website, we were really upset to read the results of the recent RSPB Seabird count. We discovered that ‘almost half of the breeding seabird species have declined across the UK and two thirds of the species breeding in Scotland’. We decided as a class to research into these figures to gain a better understanding of what is happening in the world. Unfortunately, we soon discovered that plastic pollution had a lot to do with the decline in seabirds and we have decided as a class to create a campaign to reduce plastic pollution in our seas and oceans.
Erin – “I feel sad looking at the pictures because this is happening in our world.”
Milla – “I feel angry people have created this mess.”
David – “I feel sad that there really is this much junk in our oceans.”
Mary – “I feel upset because animals and fish shouldn’t be eating the plastic but they don’t know.”
Over the next week we hope to get our campaign up and running, watch this space!
