They created an invention to help our planet such as: a machine to produce more oxygen, a food waste robot, a sea drone to collect rubbish, a water purifier to help places in drought and many more wonderful ideas. All the machine prototypes were made out of recycled items such as plastic bottles and cardboard boxes.The children worked so hard and produced posters, presentations and explanation sheets on their fantastic machines. We held an exhibition in our classes to show case the designs. Parents and other children were invited-We hope we have helped to share some ideas on how we can help our planet...
