Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them 1. Children determined to clean up beach and environment and looked in all places (under bushes, under shells, right up to the waterline). 2."This bag could've floated around in the air for the birds to eat or landed in the sea for the animals to eat. I helped saved 'em."

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? Posters. Great visual and they had space for the rubbish to be on them. Identifying and measuring the rubbish collected = great analysis discussion.

How many bags of rubbish did your class collect? There were 4 classes and we used all bags, but most bags were not full. We seemed to have picked a tidy week.

How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability? We had zero waste council programme shorly after, and Project Jonah came to visit, and both ladies were impressed with the amount of knowledge and examples the children shared with them from their Sea Cleaners unit.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? We can make a difference - we just need to make the time (school time initially, personal time thereafter). Much easier to do it together, but also recognised their individual contribution.

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? Small logs of wood (broken boat pieces?). Discussion about where they came from and why.

“Posters were excellent and a terrific visual for children to see that wasn't gorry for their age (like some images you get on the internet). Good that gloves and collection bags were environmentally kind.”

“We loved our Sea Cleaners kit. It tied in really well with our Drains are for Rain unit and helped us tackle the rubbish problem in the playground too. It was such a great kit with gloves and bags too. Our beach was not too bad for rubbish, but we collected lots from the playground and stopped that rubbish from getting into the drains and washing out to sea. As part of our unit, we walked to the beach looking in the drains with rubbish in them and also saw the pipe on the beach where water ran into the sea.”

“The biggest achievement for us during this kit was the actual clean up that we did around school. The students loved doing the artwork and we even managed to incorporate picture books that related to the same topic into this as well. This was a really successful unit that moved on from our focus in the term before which was how the ocean connects us.”
