Global and Local Issues : Grade 5's Assembly on littering

The grade 5's treated us to a wonderful assembly today on littering. The 'costumes' that they wore were delightful and even Mrs Maree ( the art teacher) commented on the originality and style. Well done to Miss Sayman and her pupils.

Such creative outfits

LITTER

ALL          :       There’s litter all around us

There’s litter on the street.

GIRLS      :       There’s litter in the bushes

There’s litter at your feet.

MICHAEL :       Pick that litter up son

Take it over there!

AMIR       :       I know you didn’t drop it

SHIVAM   :       And I know that life’s not fair!

SIMARIN :       It’s always someone else’s fault

ALL          :       It’s never ever me

BOYS       :       Here today, gone tomorrow

GIRLS      :       Moved elsewhere for free.

LEAH       :       But someone has to clear it

AALIYAH :       That someone must be paid.

SHAE       :       That someone must be paid by you

SAPNA     :       As they clear up with their spade.

ALL          :       And what about the animals

Who try to reach inside?

CASSIDY  :       The going mouldy bag of chips

ALL          :       (Barbecue, deep fried)?

GIRLS      :       When you dropped the packet

And thought, oh what the heck,

BOYS       :       You could be trapping something

By the feet or claws or neck.

PHIWO    :       And doesn’t it look filthy

As it flutters in the wind?

ALL          :       The bag of chips and chocolate wrapper

You really should have binned.

MICHAEL :       None of us like litter

SHIVAM   :       Though we liked what came inside

OUNAISA        :       Perhaps it’s time we cleaned up our act,

ALL          :       Restored our sense of pride.

CASSIDY  :       There’s litter all around us

And it’s a filthy sin

ALL          :       When at your feet,

JODEIN   :       Just yards away

ALL          :       There lies an empty bin.
