“This kit really inspired room 2 learners at Park Estate School. It helped us to understand the harm that leaving plastics on the ground can cause to the sea - even when you're not on a coast line. We enjoyed cleaning up our local park and were surprised at what we found. thanks”
“We thoroughly enjoyed this kit and all of the authentic learning opportunities it provided for us. We were so grateful for the gloves and to be able to make a positive impact in our own school environment. We could not believe the amount of rubbish we picked up and the children were so proud that it wouldn't make its way into our oceans. Thank-you School Kit for another wonderful and thoughtful kit! We are so LUCKY to have had the chance to participate.”
“We used the sea cleaners kit as a school clean up. We researched our local waterways and what aquatic life used our creeks, inlets and oceans. We linked it to our term unit about 'our future selves' and being Kaitiaki of our environment. The real eye opener for the Tamariki was the amount of lunch packets!!! We are taking this a step further next year with a real sustainability focus in 2020. We will use the Sea cleaners concept again! Thank you for the awesome kit. Sorry no photos : (”
“Hi there,
Just a review on the Sea Cleaners kit. We really appreciated the opportunity to partake in this project as we live near the ocean and it is such an important part of our community. We were all surprised at the amount of rubbish that we collected and particularly how much of it was really not needed in the first place ie take away coffee cup.
The kit was a great resource and we are very appreciative of the School Kit crew and in particular the patrons who put their resources into providing this kit.
Thank you,
Mr Hefferen and Room 7”
“This kit was used by Y3&;4 Sea Cleaners. It allowed us to dive deeper into our topic on the Maui Dolphin and explore the threats and hazards that the Maui Dolphin face as well as how we can have a positive impact on the sea and species in it. The children were so inspired to learn that we can simply help save the ocean and its creatures by picking up rubbish and recycling etc that it became a daily occurrence for the students to pick up rubbish! The students LOVED this kit and the activities because it showed them visually the impact rubbish has on ocean life.”
“I give my sincerest apologies to all teachers who might have wanted this kit and to Schoolkit for NOT being able to instigate the learning around this wonderful kit. I am embarrassed to admit this, with it arriving late, and some unforseen events, we made NO headway with it. Once again, my apologies to all. Loved seeing the pics etc from other classes.”
“Unfortunately because the kit arrived a little late the big opportunity I had to use it at a local water way event had passed but it remains a great idea and a way to get kids involved with local environmental issues. It is our aim at the school to get the children more involved with maintaining a local water way next year and this talking about the kit (and then using it around the school instead) was a great introduction to issues about each person being individually responsible for their local environment and making good choices around the disposal of rubbish. I think the idea is a great one.”
