Hauraki are embarking on a project to create an installation art piece for our School Art Show in Week Nine of Term Two. We are looking at our use of soft plastic in the school and how we can minimise it.Our Installation Artwork will be ‘talking’ about…..
How much soft plastic is used by a small school of 10 classes in 8 weeks. We are looking at what we are doing to our natural world that is having a negative impact on the other animals that live in it.
We are filling up the world with rubbish like we are filling up the house.
It’s a house because we are doing the polluting and we live in houses. What if we had to store all the rubbish we created in our house we lived in? What would we do?
We want people to THINK about…..
How we are affecting our World.
How much soft plastic we are using and if it is all necessary.
How can the world last with all this plastic.
We want people to TALK about…..
How people could change their habits or behaviours to use less soft plastic.
How people could make sure all soft plastic that is used is recycled.
How they could help clean up the damage so far.
How they could help in any way.
We will be collecting soft plastic that is brought to school each day from all the classes. Next week we will create the wooden frame 'house' to sit outside out classroom. We will cover it in clear plastic bags so the rubbish inside can be seen. Each day we will empty the bins into the soft plastic house. WATCH THIS SPACE!!
This week all the students had to create a slideshow to present to the children of one of the classes in the school to tell them about our project and enlist their help with sorting their rubbish correctly. They will be sharing their slideshows on all their own learning blogs so check them out.
