LITTLE SCIENTISTS IN THE MAKING!

We were learning about materials a few weeks ago and we got into a big discussion about plastic.
We watched a clip called 'A Whale's Tale' (linked below) and it got us thinking a lot. The children came out with the most amazing ideas about reducing plastic and we talked about what we do already to help save our planet and the little things we could change daily to help global warming and climate change. Here are some things we came up with:

• Reusable water bottles/ keep cups for teas and coffees 
• Recycling correctly (washing out plastic containers)
• Turning off a dripping tap
• Having showers instead of baths
• Bamboo toothbrushes instead of plastic ones
• Paper straws 
• Reusable sandwich bag (instead of tinfoil)

The following week we spoke about the wild fires and the tragic amount of deforestation happening in the world. The children then created some powerful posters in Art for Science week linked to our global warming discussions. 

The future is bright with these mini-environmentalists paving the way!
