We welcomed Carmen Haselup from Tideline Trash and Treasures to the infants again this week to talk to our EYFS children about how damaging rubbish can be to the sea creatures and ways in which we can help to keep our beaches clean.
Carmen shared some of her amazing work she has created from the rubbish she has collected and the children had some fantastic questions for her!
