What is in the news this week?

The Coca-Cola company is testing a new paper bottle as part of a long-term strategy to remove
plastic from its packaging. The sample bottle is made by a Danish company from an extra-strong
paper shell that still contains a thin plastic liner. The overall ambition is to create a 100% recyclable,
plastic-free bottle capable of preventing gas escaping from carbonated drinks.

Things to think about at home:

• Can you think of some different objects/ food that have packaging? What is the packaging made of? What did you do with the packaging?
• Why do we have packaging? How many reasons can you think of?
• Would the packaging impact your decision on whether to buy the product? Why?

A Special Challenge

In April 2020 during the first national coronavirus lockdown, Captain Sir Tom set himself a small challenge to raise £1,000 for NHS charities by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday. He raised £33 million and became famous all around the world! Can you set yourself a challenge of doing something 100 times to raise awareness of something you care about? This could be through an exercise like Captain Sir Tom, drawing, completing an activity for 100 minutes. 

Please email any photos of you completing your challenge to your class teacher.
