Today in school has been POP day (Protect Our Planet).

Our creative Year 3 Eco Team helped to plan and organise the activities that Year 3 did throughout the day, the focus was on plastic pollution.  Lily, Ozzy, Maisie and Matthew planned a great activity to show how difficult it is for animals to know what is food and what is plastic.  They had small pieces of plastic mixed up with small pieces of food and used their thumb and for finger (as the animal's mouth) to scoop up bits of food and put it into a bowl (representative of the animal's stomach).  The children saw, even with their great eye sight, how difficult it was to not pick up the plastics and get the plastics in their bowls (stomachs).
