Boneo Buzz: 4th June

As part of the Year 2 persuasive writing unit, students explored the impact plastic is having on our environment, with a particular focus on our oceans.

Students researched the history of plastic, the process of plastic production and breakdown, and its environmental impact. To deepen their understanding, students focused their research on the impact it is having on our oceans and what will happen in our near future if we don’t make changes.

They were shocked to find that by 2050, if things don’t change, there will be more plastic in our oceans than marine life. During remote learning, students created a persuasive poster to convince people to use less plastic, sharing their message with family and their class.
