What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? The dead bird, it had maggots and the kids were disgusted that someone had picked it up and dumped it in a rubbish bag. Also the amount of bottles found in bushes.

“Kia ora, it has been an amazing event to have and to share the resources amongst the students of Riverton Primary Juniors and Seniors. We started with an amazing morning, gathering in separate teams. Our Junior team set off towards the beach entry from our school end and gradually ended up by the Riverton Rugby fields. I met up with them to collect all the rubbish bags, they set off at 9:30 am till 11:45 am, then slowly walked back to school ready for a school music production. The Seniors, however, tracked all the township area and the combined streets of the township. Room 8 my class started towards our Aparima College than the field and eventually we hit a jackpot of rubbish being dumped behind the bushes, collecting two huge bags full, leaving this on the side of the road for pick up later, the other two classrooms, went further to the other end of us and in the middle meeting at a certain point at 11 am at the town park. My students were very annoyed that we had collected that much rubbish and knew that our shellfish and kai moana were at risk of pollution due to rubbish blowing in their hometown, situated near the ocean and estuary. Students were getting honks from drive-bys and praised by the local community. We eventually had morning tea and then ventured off towards the meet-up place by the park, and gathered everyones rubbish collection at the corner of the parking area. We were shocked to see the amount of rubbish dumped for pick up later. A little play at the park and then back to school. After the Music production which started at noon. After the show was completed, I gathered all the classroom Juniors and Seniors to come and see the amount of rubbish they collected out side the hall area and they were even shocked by even more rubbish collected by the Junior classes. This was an eye opener to the staff and parents who were already at the school, who also came to help pack it all up with Room 8 students.”

“This was a wonderful kit but we didn't get out to the ocean because our trip was canceled twice due to the weather. so we filled our water tub up and put sea animals in it with a lot of rubbish in it. We then used tongs to pick out the rubbish. This took some time for them to do as they had to pick small amounts Of rubbish put but they were able to see how big of a job it is to clean up the ocean. the students were engaged and they did enjoy the activity however it would have been better actuallu beeing at the seaside.”

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them " I love the gloves as they make me feel like all official, like an ocean cleanup scientist." " This field trip wasn't that fun, I mean we were just picking up and sorting rubbish, but at least I feel like I'm making a difference." "The thought of plastics ending up in a turtles tummy really makes me think about putting rubbish in the bin."

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The posters of sea creatures and creating the artworks using the rubbish we collected really brought home the impact our actions are having on sea life. The gloves are still being used by our kids and made them feel really important. The bags were also great in giving the kids an overall sense that what they were doing was really important. That they were teaming up with a huge organisation that is teally making a difference. The video message addressing the school kids from the Sea Cleaners founder was also very powerful.

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? Whole bicycle wheel just dumped at edge of river, and loads of plastic lollipop sticks in and around park.

“Sea Cleaners was an awesome basis for our term 3 inquiry. The kids loved being a part of something bigger than themselves. Knowing that their clean up efforts were contributing to the wider joint efforts of the Sea Cleaners team and thousands of other children around NZ really gave them a real sense of purpose. We explored the many waterways that surround our school and the endangered Tuna that live in them. We mapped our waterways to the coast and performed a number of small local clean ups as well as a whole syndicate waterway clean up of two of our major reserves/waterways. The analysis of the rubbish that followed formed the basis of our statstics unit, and we still have children voluntarily pickibg up rubbish with their friends in the weekends and during lunch time at school.”

“Used with my yr0-2 students. This was a fantastic kit with everything you need to complete a beach cleanup. My students loved the gloves in particular and were so excited to fill up as many bags as they could. Posters were a fantastic post clean up activity. We collected a total of 8 bags from petone beach in just over an hour. We teamed up with our local keep NZ beautiful group who lent us high vis vests and grabbers which helped too.”
