Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them #1 - I loved cleaning up our waterway, there was SO much rubbish, now I want to do it again. #2 - I liked learning about how to be better at keeping the water clean for the animals.

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.

I have used this more for picking rubbish up at school/local parks. But was good for that as I have been trying to work out a happy median between gloves for picking up rubbish but not wanting to add all the plastic to landfill
