Sustainable Coastlines

Today the whole school went to the hall and we learned what happens when rubbish goes to the sea. A man named Ryley (a different Ryley from the one in our class).

First Ryley showed us pictures of rubbish at the beach. We saw plastic bags, drink bottles, gloves, lolly wrappers and sticks.

Then we saw the pictures of a dead bird and a turtle. The bird had lots of rubbish in his belly and the turtle had small plastic ring around him. His shell was squished in the middle.

Next Ryley told us that we could help thes sea creatures by picking up rubbish. Even the land creatures can eat the rubbish. He told us the rubbish gets to the sea through the drain.

So, when we went back to class, we picked up rubbish. We even looked in the drains.

We thought the rubbish was yucky. Seeing the sea creatures made us feel sad and sick because rubbish isn't food.
