“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”

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!”
