  1. Hi Will, you certainly know a lot about plastic. I had no idea that polar fleece was made out of plastic. Where did you find all of this interesting information? What was your WALT for this activity?

    You sure do know a lot about plastic! All I knew about plastic was that they were really bad for the environment and our jerseys were made from it. In the last week of the holidays I'm going to watch a movie in the Hokitika theatre called A Plastic Ocean. You should search it up on youtube.
