“The sea cleaners kit was so helpful for our students who went down to the local beach to pick up rubbish. There were enough gloves for all students and parent helpers to have 2 each, and the paper bags helped reinforce the idea of using less plastic. The students all enjoyed sorting out the rubbish afterwards and using the big poster to help categorise everything we found.”

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? a pot with a broken handle. We unscrewed the handle and bought it back to our sandpit.

“This was a great kit and our class loved having the gloves to make them feel special when they were cleaning up. We enjoyed finding pukapuka in our school library to read about cleaning up, rubbish and looking after our planet. This led on nicely as we had learnt about our solar system last term. It wasn't suitable to take our class to the beach so we cleaned up our school and the streets around us. We saw the dolphin by the drains to remind us that everything that goes down the drain ends up at the beach. The boys thought it was hilarious that they would be swimming with rubbish!”
