Keeping the oceans clean!

 This week our focus story has been 'The tale of the whale.' A humpback whale takes a girl for a ride in the ocean but things turn sad when the whale swallows a load of plastic rubbish. We have been learning that lots of plastic rubbish gets into the oceans and makes sea creatures poorly or they even die.
In small world, children have been protecting the ocean by building a wall around it to keep out the rubbish. In class, we looked what happened when we stuffed plastic in a fish tank of a pretend whale and turtle - they looked like they couldn't breathe! We made posters to tell everyone to pick up rubbish when they visit the beach.
