“This kit worked so well with our school wide inquiry, We were stoked to finish off with a massive clean up of our local shopping centre. We had quite a few happy residents who were very impressed with the whole thing!. Thank you for yet again providing such great resources for us! I sent a short video to our Local Nestle representative and it was great to touch base with him too!.”
“What a fantastic resource. My Year 2 class really enjoyed collecting the rubbish and came to the realisation of how rubbish along our coastline affects the animals in our sea. Thanks for the gear.”
“Hi there,
I am very pleased with how this kit supported our learning about the issue of waste in our oceans. The gloves were great &; even the follow up activity of the sea creatures with rubbish in their tummys - great visual. Overall we loved the kit and it felt good to get out there and clean up our road. The kids were so excited and felt very professional with their 'sea cleaner' paper bags and gloves. They begged to keep them so they could continue picking up rubbish on their way to and from school.
A great learning experience and we thank you very much for giving us that opportunity!”
“My students loved the sea cleaners kit. We took the use the kit at our local beach down the road from the school. We spent between 1-1:30 hours at the beach cleaning. Although i'm not to sure if this is a negative or a positive but we found 2 bag fulls of rubbish. It was good because we had a lot of parent support to help pick up rubbish and monitor the students. We really loved doing this Kit. Many Thanks!!!”
“The resources were brilliant. Each child had a glove for our beach clean up as well as bags to collect it in. We have 80 children in our small school. they were very appreciative of them.The posters in the kit helped children develop the awareness as to just how many beautiful creatures are affected by careless disposal of rubbish. They have also discussed how much fun it was at the beach and that they want to keep if beautiful. We sorted the rubbish when we returned to school using the analysis chart in the kit. This generated some wonderful discussion.
This resource continued to motivate learners after our beach trip. We have also done messages in bottles (not real ones) based on what we think the world should be aware of...Keep the Sea Rubbish Free was used a lot!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to use your resources :) :)”
“Great kit, children thoroughly enjoyed it and got a lot out of it. It linked well to our Sharing the Planet unit , - 'Sharing our environment with other living things provides challenges and opportunities'. We shared our findings with our parent community in the hope that they also become aware and take positive action.”
“Kia ora, what a great kit! I plan to use this with my class in the new year. Unfortunately we couldn't use it this year due to unforeseen circumstances. Looking forward to using it in Term 1 2020. :-)”
