Year 2 WOW Day – Pollution and Us

The new topic for the summer term is pollution, so what better way to start our journey than to be submerged into some of the causes of pollution!

At the beginning of our day, we thought about what it is like to be in the beautiful countryside with nature all around us. We listened to birds singing, and waterfalls flowing and we watched the scenes of nature all around us.

We decided we wanted to go and live there so thought about what we needed to build our houses and meet all our needs like food and warmth. So we designed and built some houses so we could live there. We realized we needed some roads, a school and a hospital too…. So we built some more.

Then we realized we had ruined our natural spaces and environment!

At the end of the day, we discuss and think about what we can change and what we can do differently to help our planet.

Everyone had an amazing time and particularly enjoyed designing and making our cities using recycled materials.
