Room 4 have been looking at the impact that plastic has on our marine environment.
You’ve probably seen videos of these impacts first hand, like a sea turtle with a plastic straw stuck in its nose or a whale trapped in a fishing net, and divers that release it from harm. Some of these incidents have happy endings, but in reality, many more do not.
We have spent the last week picking up plastic in our school grounds that may very well end up in our waterways and then eventually into the ocean. We have been filling our paper mache whales with this plastic and creating environmental art that reflects how we feel about this problem.
