Today Year 3 learnt about seagulls in New Zealand. They aren't often appreciated as they're a familiar scavenger at the beach, but did you know the red billed and black billed gulls are in decline? You can listen to this to find out more Concerning Decline a RNZ interview We found out lack of food, litter, loss of habitats and pest predators are a problem.
We researched the three types of gulls found in New Zealand and sketched them.
Then we read Celia Seagull and the Plastic Sea
We discovered plastic litter threatens our sea birds, so we went on a litter hunt. Sadly most of the litter was plastic wrappers from lunchboxes. We can help by packing a litter free lunch. How many litterfree lunches did Year 3 have?
Room 7 had 9 litterferee lunches
Room 8 had ELEVEN litterfree lunches YAY
Room 18 had 6
To reward the extra effort of packing a litterfree lunch we had a prize draw for each class. Congratulations to Matty, Luka & Chase.
