We read a fantastic story called ‘Fish’ which was all about our oceans and how they were being filled with rubbish. We then collected rubbish found in the ocean and tested whether it floated or sank. We had some great discussions about how the litter might affect the wildlife in our oceans. ### Science class 1 [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-class-1/4CEF7D94-7596-4CE0-9A02-BA71493BAE88.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-class-1/4CEF7D94-7596-4CE0-9A02-BA71493BAE88.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-class-1/56D6A6C1-F9B3-4040-996C-B94AD8C91463.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-class-1/56D6A6C1-F9B3-4040-996C-B94AD8C91463.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-class-1/4C80D5A0-1516-4CE6-882A-15DE52CC5E93.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-class-1/4C80D5A0-1516-4CE6-882A-15DE52CC5E93.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-class-1/D2FC760F-8D64-4E23-9576-F1411A78B8FC.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-class-1/D2FC760F-8D64-4E23-9576-F1411A78B8FC.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/science-class-1/908E610C-F4D9-4E44-BB2C-EC6C120CFFBC.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/gallery/science-class-1/908E610C-F4D9-4E44-BB2C-EC6C120CFFBC.jpeg) [ Year 3/4 cricket](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2026-06-09-18-11-year-3-4-cricket) [Planting ](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/blog/2026-06-12-14-57-planting) ![The Howard Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/logo/Howard-footer-Logo.png) ### The Howard Primary School The Square Elford Tamworth B79 9DB 01827 383292 - [Term Dates](http://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/termdates) © Copyright 2019–2026 The Howard Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.howard.staffs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
