A turtle called Mayo is released back to the sea after months of rehabilitation. Everyone who had the opportunity to attend was so happy. But this would not have been needed if it wasn’t for human egoism. Mayo had ingested a fishing hook and was injured as well. Once again, we have human egoism leaving a bad impact on the environment. It’s a pity these beautiful creatures must suffer because of this.

In a world where everything is needed instantly, and time seems to go by so fast, disposable items seem to be the best solution. Or maybe it’s just laziness because it’s easier to just throw away. But what a problem to the environment this DISPOSABLE GENERATION is becoming!!

Grow your own fruit and vegetables! Reduce litter

awarded: Participation

To help reduce plastic further, throughout this year we are also campaigning to grow our own food at school and encouraging parents of our students to do the same. In this way we will be controlling plastic waste even more by avoiding buying prepacked fruit and vegetables. We would like to encourage our school community to look at the foods we buy to find ways of reducing our plastic use. One way of cutting down on our household plastic waste is surely by growing our own crops. Every class shall be having a planter or garden patch where they shall be growing their own fruits and vegetables. Parents at home are also being encouraged to grow food in their balconies, roofs and yards.

To help promote awareness re reducing plastic waste in the ocean we shall be inventing an interactive story book about reducing litter with the help of a sponge fish with different items on it and turn it into an interactive storybook.. Cora is on her way to a party with her fish mates…. But what happens to Cora until she gets to the party? And how come Cora turns into a dirty, sad and tired fish until she reaches her mates’ reef?! Cora’s unlucky adventure is a story of a fish on her way to her mates’ reef to celebrate her birthday together…but on the way Cora has to swim through the litter that people ended up throwing in the ocean… a once so happy Cora arrives at her mates’ reef so sad and dirty. During this story, children will take turns to throw different items which they are asked to bring from home into the water where Cora the sponge fish lies…. At the end of the story the children will observe the changes in the sponge fish. At every stage pictures will be taken to turn this adventure into a book. This book will be turned into an Ebook and sent as a link to children at home to read this story and share Cora’s unlucky adventure. This Ebook activity will be done by one class bubble this year however the ebook will be shared with the rest of the school so that we can create further awareness.

The first thing that caterpillars eat is their eggshell. On each side of its head, a caterpillar has 6 tiny eyelets, called stemmata, arranged in a semi-circle. Caterpillars get creative when it comes to self-defence. Life at the bottom of the food chain can be tough, so caterpillars employ all kinds of strategies to avoid becoming a bird snack.

Chameleons are wonderfully odd reptiles. They change their skin colour for many reasons, such as to blend with their surroundings, to control their body temperature, when they are angry and trying to scare others. Planting more trees ensures a safe home to these endangered species in the Maltese Islands.
