Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic that come from bigger plastic items like bottles and bags. Even though they are very small, they cause big problems for nature. They end up in our oceans, rivers, soil, air, and even our food! Sea animals like fish, turtles and birds often eat microplastics by mistake, which can make them sick. When we eat fish that swallowed plastic, the microplastics can enter our bodies too. Littering makes the problem worse because plastic breaks down into microplastics and gets washed into the sea. We can help by throwing rubbish away properly, joining beach clean-ups, and spreading awareness. Scientists even discovered a type of bacteria that can “eat” plastic, which might help in the future. Fast fashion clothing also releases microplastics, so buying fewer, better-quality clothes can help. If we recycle, reuse, and reduce plastic, we can protect our planet—because we don’t have a Planet

This photo shows a chameleon in a lemon tree. Chameleons are very good at hiding because their colours help them blend in with leaves and branches. This helps protect them from predators. Trees and plants are important homes for many animals like chameleons, birds, and insects. They provide food, shelter, and safe places to rest. When we protect trees and plants, we also protect the animals that live in them. Animals can lose their homes when trees are cut down. This can make it harder for them to survive. We can help by planting trees and taking care of nature so animals like chameleons can continue to live safely.

This photo shows a snail moving slowly across a log. Snails are important parts of nature. They help break down dead plants and wood, which helps return nutrients to the soil. This keeps the soil healthy so new plants can grow. They are a source of food to other animals. Snails can be affected by pollution, habitat loss, and chemicals like pesticides. When natural areas are damaged or cleaned too much, snails can lose the places they need to live. We can help protect snails by keeping natural areas healthy, avoiding harmful chemicals, and respecting small creatures in nature.
Growing sunflower in our garden

Photo Story Photos
We planted sunflower seeds in our garden and watched them grow. In the first photo we took a picture of sunflower seeds. They are very small, but they can grow into big nice flowers. In the second photo, we took a picture of a sunflower ready to open and show us the beautiful yellow colours, like the sun, hence its name! In the third picture we can see that it has grown into a nice flower. It is big, bright and follows the sun. It also helps insects like bees. In the forth photo, we took a picture of a sunflower that has now closed and dried. This shows that plants change, grow over time and the last stage of life would be to drop the seeds so that the cycle of another plant can start again. We learned that plants need sun, water and care to grow

This photo shows a beetle found in our school garden. It is an important part of nature because it helps keep the environment by breaking down dead plants and helping the soil. This shows how even small insects are important for a healthy environment. To protect insects like this, we should avoid using harmful chemicals, keep gardens clean, and protect the animals’ habitats.
