“The gloves and poster provided by the sea cleaners kit have been used several times by our Year 5/6 classes. We used the sea cleaner's kit in conjunction with our learning and litter clean-up we undertake for Sustainable Coastlines. The poster included in the Sea Cleaners kit is a useful way to simplify all the data we record about the amount and categories of litter we collect.”

What cross curricular learning came about as a result of this kit? Our focus for the term was about Kaitiakitanga so the Sea Cleaners kit fitted in really well

What future learning opportunities have arisen from this kit? I did find the kit was quite simplistic - especially for a class who are very interested in the environment and already know a lot. As a school we do lots of beach clean ups already. I was hoping for the kit to take our learning a bit further than it did.

“Students enjoyed having the opportunity to take their learning outside of the classroom. Due to lockdown, we were only able to collect rubbish in our school grounds before going into level 4. Because our school is somewhat close to the city beaches of Auckland, we were able to have a rich discussion about the potential journey that this plastic could have made to the sea had we not collected it. Students were overwhelmed by the amount of plastic that we collected from our school, especially since most children bring waste free lunches to school.”

“This kit was a great hook into being kaitiaki for our environment. Lockdown proved a challenge to get this up and going in early Term 3, so we tackled the kit coming back into Term 3. The children were engaged and shared their views on our school environment. Thank you for the paper bags and gloves- the kids were so happy they got to keep the gloves!”
