This afternoon the children were litter picking.  We collected over 5kgs of litter.  The children also learned why we pick litter up e.g. saving animals, looking after the environment and also they learned how long it takes for objects to decompose.  The children were amazed at how long it takes for materials to decompose e.g. plastic takes up to 450 years and cans take up to 1000 years.

They understand the importance of not dropping litter and will write raps on the dangers of litter picking.
