Sea Cleaners kit was an absolute hit at ACG Sunderland. We integrated it into our Social Science curriculum when investigating water way pollution and conservation. We also made it a routine to use the big bags to clean our school and students were delighted to use the gloves. My cohort enjoyed using this kit as it related well to their Kelly Tarltons Sea life Overnight camp experience. They enjoyed the visual posted and investigatied environmental impacts on these beautiful creatures. Thank you so much. Miss Anderson

The Sea Cleaners school kit allowed my students, who are all neurodiverse, to begin to understand the importance of being careful with their rubbish and the impacts it is having on the animals and environment around us. We did some great writing and Maths around the different pieces of rubbish we found and how we could try to limit the amount of rubbish we use. We also enjoyed looking at many different sea animals.

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? Apologies, I wasn't here for this bit, so have only been able to answer what I can see from the student's work.
We really enjoyed working our way through this kit in the lead up to cleaning our patch of the waterfront. I had a very early baby half way through this unit and the reliever managed to pick up where we left off without too many problems! This one could be good to have an opt out of the physical box option. I didn't realise until we recieved it that it was just a box of gardening gloves and as a enviro school we already have a ton!

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? Broken tractor toy because it was found in the sandpit we do our athletics prep and the children were happy no-one would hurt themselves on it.
Children loved the posters and great for discussions. We have since used the gloves to help keep our local environment at school rubbish free too including native planting areas. Thank you to the sponsors for your generous contributions to School Kit. We always love seeing what new kits are coming up.
