K1 had a busy Sustainability session with Mrs Daniel today. We began by starting our enquiry into climate change.
We discussed what we already knew and how it makes us feel:
Ashton: the climate is changing and the ice is melting and it makes me sad. Joe Biden and the Willow Project are bad.
Edward: the air is getting hotter and there's going to be more floods. Animals can't adapt to the climate.
We clarified that the ozone layer hole isn't to do with climate change but it does go to show that humans can change their habits and reverse the negative effects they have caused.
Next we did a Climate Change breakout provided by Live Lightly at the Eye on Nature Event. We timed ourselves and are going to compete against the other Year 6 classes for the grand prize.
K1 thought the break out was exciting and difficult. We used our brain power. We learnt to work together, how we can live more sustainably, and to yell out answers so everyone knows. We wonder if we'll be the quickest ...
The times:
K3 - 16m 36s
K2 - 9m15s WINNERS
K1 - 15m 15s
We continued making meaning and connections about climate til morning tea.
Next we had a surprise special guest; Monique from the Stormwater Sleuths for a citizen science project looking at pollution in our drains.
