Reusing an old T-shirt&Planet Earth

Dearest children, how are you? Hope this post find you safe and healthy!

On April 22nd, we will celebrate the Earth Day. This year we have two important issues to stop. One is the COVID-19, the other is the climate change. We must solve both problems. Everyone can make a difference, so what can you do?

TASK 1)     I propose you to reuse cloth at home. 
                       What about to make a bag reusing an old T-shirt?

MATERIAL:

old t-shirt

scissors

Lay your old t-shirt flat and use a pair of scissors to cut off the sleeves, neck area (so that it aligns with the sleeve cuts), and the bottom.

Now cut little strips on the bottom of the t-shirt (look at the photo)

TIP: While you are cutting the fringe take both the front and the back layer of the t-shirt so that you have pairs of strips.

Tie the strips together at the bottom in pairs until all of them are tied together and the bottom of the t-shirt is closed. Now you have a bag!

NOTICE: I cannot repeat the activity because I do not have another old t-shirt but I advice you to cut long strips because the idea is to have bags like the ones I show you in the photo below.

TASK 2) After that, Look at our planet from space in this video 360º 

The Planet Earth

is the third

in the solar system.

It's blue and green

and its air is clean.

Let's take care 

of Planet Earth.

After watching the video and understanding the poem above (use the dictionary on line if you have problems), draw a planet where you would like to live and add a slogan or sentence related to the Planet. Take a photo of your coloured drawing and send it to me or upload it to chatterpix padlet.
