Grade 5 went on a field trip to Darb 1718, an art center in Coptic Cairo. They learned a lot about why it is important to reduce plastic waste, and to recycle or properly dispose of plastic we do use!
In these pictures, they are learning about how long plastic objects can remain in the sea once they get there.
Can you guess how long a plastic bottle will stay in the environment?? It is shocking.
Grade 5 also learned that plastic breaks down into tiny pieces and gets into our water and sand. It even gets into our food! Below they are finding plastic pieces in sand from Egypt's coast.

At Darb, Grade 5 artists also learned about "upcycling", which means making something more valuable out of plastic things which have been used. They even did their own upcycling - making creative sculptures!
Grade 5 artists had a lot of fun at Darb while learning important things. Now they will make Christmas themed upcylced sculptures with Ms. Krista and Ms. Yasmin in art! Now that's something to get excited about!!
