Thank you!”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them I didn’t know that rubbish could tangle around sea life. I’m happy that I cleaned up Clark’s Beach. I learnt to always put rubbish into a sealed container so it can’t blow away as it hurts our environment.

“My Y5 class loved participating in a beach clean up day especially as when we first arrived at the beach it looked super tidy … on the surface. As they went rubbish hunting the sea cleaner bags soon began to fill up. It was surprising how much rubbish & also the variety of rubbish that we ended up collecting. A good lesson for all to learn. Back in class they enjoyed filling in the poster with their data & look & discuss the sea cleaner posters.”
