Year 4 Plastic Fishing
As part of our Personal Development curriculum, Year 4 pupils took part in a Plastic Fishing activity at the docks, helping to remove litter from the water while learning about the importance of caring for our environment.
The children were surprised by the number of items they found that should not have been in the docks and enjoyed working together to make a positive difference to their local community.
“I was surprised by how much rubbish we found – lots of water bottles, discarded milkshake bottles and food wrappers, which should have been put in the bin.” Jorge, 4 Rowling
“I was happy that we got to clean the docks. We even found a tennis racket, a tennis ball and over 20 empty water bottles.” Abdulrahman, 4 Dahl
Year 3 Plastic Fishing
Year 3 also had a fantastic time plastic fishing,enjoying the beautiful sunshine and refreshing breeze, they sailed around the docks searching for and collecting litter from the water.
The children showed great enthusiasm and teamwork throughout the trip, working hard to help make our local area a cleaner and tidier place. It was wonderful to see their commitment to caring for the environment and learning about the importance of keeping our waterways free from rubbish.
“I loved plastic fishing! We went round the corner into Canary Wharf and saw so much rubbish. It was exciting to pick it all up. We even found a football to take back to school, as well as a bubble tea with bubbles still inside.” Isabella, 3 Lewis
