Looking After Our World

For Global perspectives in Year 1 this term, we have been learning about ‘Looking after our world.’ As part of the topic, we have been looking at the problem of ‘litter.’ The list of social problems caused by litter and rubbish is extensive.

Litter creates safety, fire, and a variety of human health hazards because of the organisms attracted to it. Oprah Winfrey says, “If every person picked up just one piece of litter today, there would be over 300 million fewer pieces of litter.”

The Year 1 classes have been on litter walks around the school grounds and picked up litter together. We have also made a classroom display from some of the litter we have found and the class have worked together to raise awareness about litter to educate others in our school. They’ve created some fantastic, colourful and interesting posters to raise awareness about litter in our school environment.

If you would like to view some of their work, it can be found in the Year 1 classes!
