The Great Drain Game

1.

Today we had the great drain game! It was very interesting and factual. Our first activity was VR goggles and wetlands talk. The VR goggles showed a mission to save birds and then it was scuba diving. Then we had a wetland talk and did you know that the brown dirty water that went into our model came out normal! I learnt about the animals that live there and also how it works.

We then did our second activity which was finding drains around the school! We have a lot of drains so maybe you could count! Me and my friend found 25 drains but others found 30 or more. We learnt that drains are important but also we don't want leaves in our drains because we need them for soil and we don't want soil in the sea!

Our third and final activity was my personal favourite. We each got given a bottle of something and we put it next to we thought it should go. The options were: Toilet, bin, drain or sink. I had detergent which I put in the sink. We learnt about where they go after being put in. Things in your house go to a place called Water Waste Treatment Plant where they become good water. Things in the drain go to the ocean so be careful what you put in the drain!

Finally we chose a pledge. Mine was to bike, scooter or walk small distances instead of driving.
