Down the Drain

On Monday, after learning about stormwater with Sally last week, we decided to check out the stormwater drains at our school.
We discovered that there are at least 26 drains in our school grounds.
The other thing we discovered was that there were these things down the drains: leaves, mud, sand, lollipop sticks, bubble gum, calcyum drink packets, straws, chippie packets, grass, nut bar wrappers, sticks, sandwiches, squashed cans, tear tabs off cans, juice cartons......... as well as water!
We have learned that stormwater drains go straight to the sea so it isn't good to have all this rubbish down the drains.

Today, we thought about how these things could have got in the drains and what effect they are going to have when they reach the sea.
By the way we also opened the jar of foodscraps in water that Sally left with us! Guess how it smelled!!!!!!!
