What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? lots of sea glass, which was beautiful, but when explained to the children that it was from glass ending up in the ocean, they realised the impact on the environment.

“We loved this kit! As we had a beach clean-up event happening at the end of the term, we were keen to unpack what was inside. The gloves and bags were very useful for the trip, and the posters of the animals were a poignant reminder of keeping our ocean free from rubbish. We used the posters alongside a picture book that talked about rubbish in our oceans, and glued recycling and debris we found at the beach to the posters, to display our findings.”
