Wetlands Poster

Febuary 2nd was world wetlands day and as we are working to retain out platinum status as an Eco school we all worked on Wetlands posters - each class concentrating on a different aspect. We were given the task of threats to our wetlands. I drew a simple 'wetland' background which the children coloured and illustrated. We then looked for pictures of threats to the wetlands having decided on 6 specific threats - people, pollution, toxins, floods, droughts, daming up the water. We pasted these on large 'maginfying glasses' - not a bad result!

We were also luck enough to be visited by a toad brought along by one of the Mums who work for the San Parks. She gave us a lot of information about frogs and toads and we were all facinated ( some of us were rather fearful too!)

A good week! We even had a lovely laugh: Teacher asked how we thought we could stop the destruction and harm done by a bulldozer ( one of the kids drew a picture of one for our poster). One little voice piped up; "You switch it off with a key!"
Oh the wisdom of children!!!!
