This week, our Eco Club at Happy Days Falmouth had a fun and fascinating session all about seals and how we can help protect our planet. The session was inspired by the work of the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, which rescues and cares for seals in need. 🦭
The children sat together in a circle and took turns looking at bright, colourful pictures of beautiful seals. They talked about where seals live, what they look like, what they might enjoy doing, and even how they might feel. The children shared some lovely ideas, showing curiosity and care for the animals.
They also explored why some seals need help and how the Cornish Seal Sanctuary looks after them. This sparked a discussion about the impact of plastic pollution and how rubbish can end up in the oceans, affecting seals and other marine life. The children learned about different types of plastic and thought about how we can all make a difference.
One of the children suggested a simple but important idea: always put our rubbish in the bin or recycling. Everyone agreed that this is an easy way we can help protect animals and the environment every day.
The session was full of questions, ideas, and lots of discussion, showing how much the children care about the world around them. Our Eco Club continues to inspire curiosity, teamwork, and responsibility in all our children.
Our Eco Club’s mission is: “To increase our knowledge, skills and experiences to understand the importance of looking after our planet. Eco Club is a team effort to make our nursery a greener and more sustainable place.” ♻️
