We each had the same page of text, a newspaper article about plastic pollution. We circled the words from the text that we wanted to be in our poem, then blacked out all the other words. We were left with fabulous poems. Come to our class and read the poems in our library corner.
Plastic floating around
The world
Crashing in like waves
Too much plastic
Mountains
To drive the bin
Sharing less plastic bags
In lives
More plastic is made
Now call on plastic
New Zealand
By Miranda
Plastic is like
horrifying mountains toppling
The humans have made plastic to choke on
People like a tidal wave
There have been mutterings about too much plastic
It’s mainly to ban single-use plastic bags has occupied the media.
By Olivia
Stuff floating around
mountains toppling into the sea
Managing lives
Elements and variations in the east
More into the sea
Fish drinking
Tiny society adjustment
By Lockie
