Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them 1) I enjoyed making a river. 2) I liked when we were picking up rubbish with our big buddies. 3) We have learnt to keep our lunch boxes shut so we can keep the rubbish inside. 4) We learnt if there were no sea animals, we would have no plants and then our oceans would die. There would be no more fish to eat for fish and chips.

Which kit components were the most impactful and why? Building the river from sand - using the online resource.

How many bags of rubbish did your class collect? 3

How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability? We have been trying really hard to reduce the amount of rubbish in our lunch boxes and we are using the posters to remind ourselves how we can do this and why.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? The children are still talking about how to take care of the ocean and taking care of their litter. Life-long lessons that have stuck with them!

Please provide 2+ examples of student voice on the kit's impact on them Several students have begun collecting soft plastics from lunchboxes etc. for collection now at local supermarket.

Which of the following types did your class collect? Plastic Bag, Plastic Bottles, Food Wrappers, Straws

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? the number of soft plastics from food wrappers in lunchboxes because we estimated there could be as many as 8,400 items of soft plastics in our lunchboxes across whole school

“The kids were pretty excited when the kit arrived and even more enthusiastic when we opened it together. They had been looking into recycling on our campus and at home and were curious to see what the major types of rubbish were littered around our school. The gloves made the collection of rubbish safe and hygienic for everyone. They loved the fact that were able to make a difference in our environment by having a clean-up but they were also shocked at the number and types of non-biodegradable rubbish that littered our neighbourhood. This spurred them on to present their findings with some pretty scary numbers, to the rest of the school in the form of posters and persuasive writing.”

The students all enjoyed sorting out the rubbish afterwards and using the big poster to help categorise everything we found.”
