 Week 1 and 2 - World Ocean Week/Saving our planet

We are learning all about being custodians of our planet! Taking care of planet Earth, our seas and creatures and taking care of each other. We have explored 2 texts around this. The Odd Fish by James Jones and We are Here by Oliver Jeffers.

The children enjoyed discussing why it is important to save the Earth. Here are our ideas.

The earth is round and special - Hanna

     If we throw our rubbish down the world will be untidy - Heidi

At my house we recycle, that means we put our rubbish a special bin - Jacob

We drew some pictures of our special planet and the things on our planet that are special to us. 

We enjoyed exploring our ocean tray with a variety of creatures.

We also explored kindness and compared ourselves to The Good Samaritan, we used the book We are Here by Oliver Jeffers to learn how to be kind to all. That included people, animals and the planet Earth. We created our own giant world and filled it with special places and people. 

The children have enjoyed learning about our planet and why it is so special. They have learned ways in which they can help to make our planet a better place for all.
