How can we help our world?

Room 9 brainstormed a number of ways we can help our world for Environment week

• Turn off the lights when I am not in the room
• Turn off the tap while I am brushing my teeth so I don't waste water
• Put my rubbish in the bin at school
• Reuse containers, boxes and paper
• Recycle paper
• Plant trees and plants
• Don't throw rubbish in the sea so sea animals don't eat it and get sick

The Caterpillar

Our poem of the week is The Caterpillar. In the poem it says that caterpillars look like little trains. We like the end when it says they turn into little aeroplanes.

Do you think butterflies look like aeroplanes?
