“The resources were brilliant. Each child had a glove for our beach clean up as well as bags to collect it in. We have 80 children in our small school. they were very appreciative of them.The posters in the kit helped children develop the awareness as to just how many beautiful creatures are affected by careless disposal of rubbish. They have also discussed how much fun it was at the beach and that they want to keep if beautiful. We sorted the rubbish when we returned to school using the analysis chart in the kit. This generated some wonderful discussion.
This resource continued to motivate learners after our beach trip. We have also done messages in bottles (not real ones) based on what we think the world should be aware of...Keep the Sea Rubbish Free was used a lot!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to use your resources :) :)”
“My students loved the sea cleaners kit. We took the use the kit at our local beach down the road from the school. We spent between 1-1:30 hours at the beach cleaning. Although i'm not to sure if this is a negative or a positive but we found 2 bag fulls of rubbish. It was good because we had a lot of parent support to help pick up rubbish and monitor the students. We really loved doing this Kit. Many Thanks!!!”
“Rescources awesome as gloves and bags were envro. Very important at our school. Suggested actives age appropriate. Great to see Kit was integrated. Very good communication from you. Thank you very much wonderful rescource. Looking forward to using more in the future. A big thank you!!!!”
“We loved this kit as the resources were perfect for the size of our kids, they loved the gloves. The kit fitted so well with our inquiry and we had a very successful clean up at our local beach. Thank you so much.”
“Unfortunately it was late getting to us, through no fault of school kit. This meant that we found it hard to fit in at the end of the year. It fitted really well with our school Enviro theme and we had a focus on plastic this year. The kit itself was simple and easy to use. We were able to complete the activity in a whole day after initial work and follow up work. The gloves were a special treat although the children found the thickness of them meant they found it difficult to pick up tiny bits of plastic etc. We found on the poster that we didn't have much to write on it as our items seemed different to the labels. Perhaps give us balnks next time?
Thank you once again.”
“One of the best kits I've used to date. The students were into it from the start. While we looked at different parks and waterways one student suggest we clean up after our annual Mission Day Gala. They saw the poster advertising water balloon throwing and expressed their concern for the balloons getting picked up by the wind and floating out to sea. The Sea Cleaners Kit exposed myself and the students to the journey of the waterways for plastics to the sea. One of the proposals from our students is to continue to use the Kleensaks for our class rubbish bins instead of the current black plastic bags. I will be wanting to use this kit again and in fact would love this to be a whole school initiative.”
