Once we had been on our trip to the museum, we decided to spread awareness on plastic pollution, we looked at some examples of posters and then created our own ones! We aimed for them to be eye catching and factual.

We also spent time discussing the impact of pollution on the ocean and how long it takes different types of plastic to decompose.

In English, we have planned and written our own stories. We have spent a time ensuring that we are using key skills including adverbial phrases and conjunctions. If you would like to see your child’s work, please let Mrs Lucas know and she will happily photocopy it.

Natural History Museum Trip

It may be versatile, durable and endlessly useful, but the once revolutionary plastic is beginning to fill Earth's oceans, posing a threat to marine life great and small.

Plastic has thousands of uses, its versatility and virtual indestructability practically unmatched in the world of synthetic materials. Since first developing plastic in 1907, we have melded and moulded the material to fulfil our needs and desires. From bags and milk bottles to agriculture and transportation, plastic is everywhere, useful and convenient. But we could be yet to realise the true cost of the synthetic behemoth we have created.

We visited the plastic pollution workshop at the Natural History Museum and then looked around all of the amazing sections. We had a wonderful day exploring all of the different exhibits and the children were amazing (even with the delayed journey on the way home!).

“This is amazing!”

 

“Wow, I didn’t know they existed ever!”
