As the culmination of our work on plastic pollution last half term, Year 6 wrote persuasive speeches last week to Ms McConnell encouraging her to lead the school into becoming single-use plastic free. To inform their speeches, we have looked at the importance of reducing our use of single-use plastic, recycling and reusing plastic. In guided reading we found out about Greta Thunberg and her campaign to raise awareness of climate change and learned about the damaging effects of deforestation and the shocking Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The end result has been  lots of persuasive and emotive speeches. Good job Year 6!
