It's Up To Us!

Our core text this half term is 'Clean Up!' by Nathan Bryon

We started our learning inspired by Sue Lipscombe a 3D sculpture artist who created a whale sculpture using plastic bottles to highlight the importance of plastic pollution. We looked carefully at the lines and shapes in a whales tail.

We went on a trip to St Annes beach to do a litter pick and learn about the impact plastic and litter has on the beach. We also had time for a few games and had fun building sandcastles on the beach.

As part of our learning we used out DT skills to plan and design a healthy fruit snack. We enjoyed cutting and chopping to make our fruit kebabs. We enjoyed eating them after. They were delicious.
