Strange Discoveries On the Severn!
By Lucy
Earlier this week, Fox class (Year 6) went litter picking on the River Severn bank for science week, as this year's theme is sustainability. When they were up there they found some very strange things including a chair - snapped in half and a toilet seat!
The toilet seat was found in a hedge alongside a chair. Jacob who found it said he thought the two items together might make a good makeshift toilet. People across the school were shocked, including the school receptionist, Mrs Hinde, who was speechless. Monty, another Member of Fox class, found a baby tree protector which was most likely from the nearby orchard. He commented “I wish we could have gone further!”
Other items found included a lot of dog poo. Mrs Tranter, Fox class TA, said that she was glad the children had found it, but was less glad about carrying it- although it was bagged up!
KS1 went litter picking around school grounds. Oscar, a member of Rabbit class, said they found many things such as paper and plastic pens! Theo, another member of rabbit class, said they even spotted play dough! Mina, a child from hedgehog, said it was like a scavenger hunt but the amount of litter was very surprising.
Members of Fox class explained they don’t think there was much left on the path we were on, but wish they could have gone further along as Monty was sure he spotted a bucket and Jacob rescued a crate from a ditch!
