Yesterday we visited the Tread Lightly Caravan and participated in a activities in the hall. There were so many great things that we discovered here are just a few of them...
- Bees, especially honey bees are extremely important to our plants if we don't have bees our plants will die out because bees pollinate our plants
- Generating power for iridescent lightbulbs takes a lot of work. It is much easier to generate power for an LED bulb because it requires a lot less power.
- Our storm water drains lead directly to the sea, that means we have to be very careful about what ends up in them. Sea creatures mistake much of the rubbish that ends up in our oceans as food and it can make them very sick
- Rubbish that goes to the landfill can stay around for a long time, we discovered the a cell phone we throw out today will look almost the same 100 years later - just a bit dirtier if it is thrown into a landfill
Mrs Lee took a few photos while we were participating in each activity, take a look at all the awesome things we discovered...
During our Tread Lightly experience we chose a pledge for the environment. We're going to work on fulfilling our pledges over the next four weeks. Here are the pledges we chose..
I so agree that Bees are extremely important. If we don't have bees our plants will die out and then we will have no food either. Yes we have to be very careful about what ends up in our storm water drains as we don't want our sea creatures to get sick. Great learning Room 18. You certainly know how to shine.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the videos room 18. I heard all about your day from Poppy but it really brought it to life for me :). What a great job!
ReplyDeleteSuch super lessons about sustainability from our friends at Tread Lightly! I hope that you all try very hard to keep up your pledges.
