“We worked in mixed-class groups to collect rubbish. After play we sorted it into the correct bins…sadly all landfills. We learned that clean glass, cans and plastics 1, 2 and 5 can go in recycling bins. Tamariki were keen to rinse these things at home! It was impressive to see the level of engagement and enthusiasm when looking after and protecting the environment.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them The gloves mean we can pick up rubbish and not get dirty, but still look after our place (the environment).That poor jellyfish!
Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The gloves - providing a practical and hands on learning experience. Also the posters - a strong visual connection to what was being taught and provided us an impactful image of our rubbish in art form.
How many bags of rubbish did your class collect? 2 large black sacks - we walked several kilometres around our local walkways bordering the waterways and on the urban streets by drains!
How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability? Positive impact - these topics tied in perfectly to our whanaungatanga focus and interconnectedness to the earth (including whenua ora and sustainability) topics early in the year.
What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? A lasting one I hope. The discussed that the rubbish bits we saw here and there didn't look like much - but when you put it all together it was so much! Most of my year one learners were horrified at harming sea life through our actions and have become more thoughtful as kaitiaki of our environment.
