Learner statement:
We had the challenge to make something from stuff that would be thrown away. As there is so much plastic in the oceans and seas, and we had lots of plastic pots lying around at dad’s house, I thought I could make a turtle with them.
It was really fun melting the pots, but it smelt a bit bad when it was melting. I enjoyed the noise as it went in to the water to cool a bit. Getting the pieces to stick was the hardest bit.
I liked seeing my turtle as part of our Earth Day event and even got a certificate for it too. I hope to make more things using this method in future, saving plastic from landfill and oceans. – Leo Rogers-Toms
