We had a great discussion in class about ways we can all help to protect planet, oceans and wildlife.
We looked at the 7Rs below to find ways we could reduce our waste.
There is an opportuity to be rewarded with a litter picker by Mr Moore and Mrs Wright if you can for example bring in a poster of how people can reduce single use plastic at home, some facts about plastic and the affects on our oceans, countryside and animals, how we can look after our world better, a creative college picture using litter, some photos of your litter picking on the beach and recording what you find, write a pledge with some ideas of what you might do this year to protect our planet. You may have your own idea too.
Here are some examples of home learning that Skipper 1 did last year who are now Skipper 2. We look forward to seeing what you produce. Deadline is Monday 22nd January 2024. Good Luck.
Here are some more ideas below of what you could be doing to protect our planet.
Going on a litter pick every week or month at a beach, your road or in the countryside. You can hire out FREE Litter Picking Equipment from Dorchester Town Council https://www.litterfreedorset.co.uk/get-involved/join-a-group-near-you/#west-dorset Also you can find out where orgainsed Litter Picking days are taking place too at West Bay, Bridport, Weymouth, Lulworth Cove. You might even see Mr Moore down at West Bay taking part too! All the groups and the people leading them are very friendly. They all really welcome families and childrne taking part.
