“We really enjoyed the freedom of integrating the Sea Cleaners kit naturally when and how it fitted into our classroom programme. The gloves are great because I have been able to wash and reuse them - much more sustainable than disposable ones. My Year 2 class quickly made the connections between the rubbish that we collected and the drains; we found it more tricky to collate and graph any rubbish collected.”
