During our Courageous Advocacy afternoon Year 3 were looking at the problems around rubbish.   The children had a problem tree and a solution tree that they had to complete.   They discussed what caused rubbish,  the effects rubbish had on the environment and what sort of rubbish they saw around them and then wrote these onto the problem tree.   Using the solution tree they came up with different ideas on how they could change things.  They decided that  things that would help would be workshops in schools about how rubbish affects us , volunteering in your local area litter picking and changing the packaging  on some items.
