Protecting our Marine Environment - Room 13

 Here in 5th class we have been doing a lot of research into marine pollution and it's impact on marine life. Some of the facts we learned were astonishing!
We paid particular attention to the length of time it takes for various forms of litter to decompose once it enters the sea - did you know that it can take up to 400 years for a plastic bottle to decompose?!
We formed project groups and used various tools in order to carry out our research - iPads, books, newspaper articles, etc. 
We put a lot of  hard work into our projects - have a look at the finished products!
