As part of our ‘Our Planet, Our Future’ topic, Primary 3 and been learning about the effects of litter and plastic pollution to the environment.
We have been researching how long it takes for materials to rot away after they are discarded and how our rubbish impacts on animals. Using the information found, we created posters and wrote an exposition to persuade people not to drop litter.
With have also linked our topic with our work on food chains, learning how animals depend on one another and discovering how plastic can enter and pass through the food chain. We worked in groups to create pictures of different marine food chains and presented them to the rest of the class.
Our next step is to learn more about recycling and how to cut down on our use of plastic to reduce plastic pollution.
