Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The gloves and poster we filled in after the sorting, The children were motivated and excited to pick up rubbish, wearing their gloves meant they were happy to get involved and not fearful of touching rubbish. The poster was great we sorted what we found and there was lots of discussion as they were sorting it. The poster helped to guide the sorting.

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? A Rusty saw because we found it in a local park near a playground. The children thought it was odd to find such rubbish in a public park rather than near a building site.

“This kit was wonderful and it fit so nicely with our Place and Environment unit. Our class along with our Year 3 & 4 syndicate were making a difference within our community by picking up rubbish and keeping our neighbourhood tidy. The kids were so excited to receive their own set of gloves from the kit. Once we had collected the rubbish the chance to sort it and fill in the Poster provided, led to some great conversations about the type of rubbish we found. This kit was great it also included Paper rubbish bags and a large poster for recording our findings as well as sea creature posters where we could attach rubbish in their stomachs. It made for an awesome display on our wall which children enjoyed looking at and discussing their experiences.”

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? Big long ribbon behind Room 27 because it was beautiful but someone still threw it away as rubbish.

“From the start, opening box and reviewing contents was very motivating. This arrived during our Kaitiakitanga theme when we were looking specifically at ocean environments so very well timed for our Year 1 class. We looked at the impact of rubbish in the ocean (videos) and what we could do to help (not buy, not use, recycle and pick up discarded rubbish, especially plastic); considered how everything ends up down in the ocean, so picking up anywhere will stop entry. Class did weekly clean-ups of Y1 school area + occasional lunchtime blitzes of junior playground area; team visit to Cockle Bay Beach for beach clean up; taking care to sort classroom rubbish into recycle and non-recycle bins.”
