Meet Stanley- the plastic bag who accidentally ended up in the sea when he was thrown away!

For our final  session of the school year, we met our families online again.

Somebody Swallowed Stanley is a story about the dangers of plastic pollution and tells us how we can reuse our plastic to make sure it doesn’t end up being eaten by sea creatures!

After the story we reused plastic milk containers to create storage of plastic bags. To make your own, you will need a washed out milk container, a pair of sharp scissors and these instructions.

Meet the robots that are all around us, in our homes, at work, under the sea and even in space!

We were online again for our sixth session, and had lots of families pretending to be robots and learning some simple code.

Robots help us by doing jobs that are are too dangerous or boring for humans to do, and this rhyming text shows us lots of robots doing these jobs. Maybe we will even have robot friends in the future!

After the story we played a game where we gave robots directions using arrows as our code. To play the game, download the game board, instructions and pieces here. You will need scissors and a pencil to record your code.
