What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? We focused on doing some reading and watching videos about the problem of waterway/sea pollution with some follow up activities, rather than cross curricular. But it was authentic learning in that we tied it into their visit to the beach for Waterwise whe

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? Students usually do 4 Waterwise Sessions a year at the beach. I'd like to keep using the gloves/bags to make this a regular part of the programme. Thank you so much for this really practical activity. It's a great resource that we will keep revisiting.

“The bags and gloves were a great, simple idea. The students enjoyed using them to find litter at the beach. Unfortunately it was a bit scaled down as we are still under restrictions but it will be part of an ongoing programme and will continue to get use into the future.”

In what ways did this kit impact student attitude towards environmentalism? The children were very eager to get out and clean up as the gloves were a real incentive at first. Since then we go out on a local walk most weeks and children will voluntarily pick up rubbish when they see it.

“My class really enjoyed learning about plastic pollution and its impacts. We watched extra videos about it too. Our riverbank clean up was a great success and made quite an impact after flood waters had released rubbish from a local tip. The children really felt like they had made a difference.”

“This is an excellent package of resources which will be used on our beach trip on Thursday 16 December and followed up on in the new year.
