This was a great way to explore the impact of our school rubbish on the local environment. We went down after the rain to look at rubbish that had washed up down the drain. We also discussed the trends amongst the rubbish - where we thought it had come from, the fact that lots of them were food wrappers, and that there were lots of small pieces of rubbish hidden in the ground.

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them I'm amazed at what people just throw away without thinking of what happens to it. Collecting and sorting rubbish was pretty gross but lucky we had protective gloves for the old stuff. We need to make sure we keep our backyards clean so the fish and sea life don't live in a rubbish dump.

I used this kit as part of Plastic Free July this year. Our school is close to the Porirua Harbour. The amount of single-use plastic has increased over the last year when I wasn't teaching, so I decided to tackle this issue with my class. The ākonga in my class also worked togeter with a buddy class and we are re-introducing Waste Free Wednesdays for our whole school again, lunchboxes that have no single-use plastic in it.
