Do we have a litter problem in Middleton town centre?

Year 6

Unit Overview

This project teaches....

the children to look at their local area with 'fresh' eyes. Are they proud of where they live? Do they contribute to any problems within their community or do they offer solutions?Β  We will visit Middleton centre and complete a litter count/watch.Β  The results will be collated and then plotted on to a class map of the town centre. We can then answer our enquiry question and discuss differing opinions and emotions. Could we offer solutions to any litter noticed during their litter watch? A comparison will then be made to world wide issues with litter such as India's litter problem.
