“What an awesome resource! I really appreciated the gloves that the children could use for our beach cleanup. The children really liked them too and it made them feel that they had a job to do! Which they did. We had a great day out cleaning our beach and it was so good for the children to later reflect on the rubbish that we found through the worksheet. We did a whole class reflection and discussion.”

“Thank you for this Sea Cleaners kit. Our class have been highly motivated to learn about our local waterways and the effect of human habitation on the flora and fauna of this area. The bags and gloves were great on the clean up day. We are washing the gloves so we can reuse them for gardening around the school or for another beach clean up.”

“Two classes worked together looking at our estuary area that is also a scientific reserve. We learnt a lot about the importance of the area and were really excited to help keep it clean. The gloves and bags were awesome. We collected a lot of rubbish, the equivalent of 5 full bags. We looked at it back at school. The sorting was hard because lots of the plastic was small. We did sort the larger pieces of rubbish by types but the students lost interest and didn't sort by colour. We were left very happy that all that yucky rubbish wasn't going into the ocean.”

How many bags of rubbish did your class collect?

“This was an excellent kit. We were very lucky to have the Sea Cleaners come to school to talk to our tamariki. They also organised a beach clean up in our local area. We collected 15 bags of rubbish which we sorted back at school and recycled as much as we could. This has a huge impact on our learners, they became even more passionate about caring for our environment and wanted to spread the message to others about the impact of rubbish. Back at school, the children organised a roster for collecting rubbish around the school. Great impact and lots of opportunity for cross curricular links.”
