Year 3 have been looking at SDG 14 (Life below water) in their art lessons. We learnt about the effect of overfishing and plastic pollution on our oceans.
We designed our fish thinking about the colours and types of plastic we would need to collect.
We worked in groups to cut and layer the plastic on top of our designs. We looked for different textures like bubble wrap and netting for scales. To make our fish stronger, we added small pieces of harder plastic from milk bottles, plastic bottles and food packaging. When our designs were full with recycled plastic, we melted it together using an iron.
