Group 1 celebrated Earth Day by taking part in lots of different activities. The Earth day theme this year was fighting plastic pollution. We got messy burying some plastic, an apple and some paper in soil, then writing down our predictions what we think will happen. We will find out in 4 weeks if our predictions came true! The book A Planet Full of Plastic was enjoyed by group 1, we read it and answered some questions before writing about what we felt the biggest problems with single use plastics were and thought of things we could do to help. We went on a litter pick in the local park and analysed the litter we collected before making and reading some graphs. We also looked at how plastic could enter the food chain. We explored the life cycle of plastic, made pictures from salt and glue and completed a scavenger hunt. We completed some recycling tasks and learned about plastic in our oceans.
