This kit came at the perfect time for us! We had a project to develop our Lizard Garden area which was full of rubbish. this rubbish goes in our local storm drains and into our marine reserve. The children were highly engaged and loved wearing the gloves! Looking after Papatuanuku is something my class is very invovled with and loved this kit.

How has this kit impacted on your class culture? Kids are careful to ensure any rubbish in the class is disposed of in the right way and to make sure lunch rubbish is minimised and cleaned up without needing to be asked. Class is more conscious of rubbish.
In what ways did this kit impact student attitude towards environmentalism? Students were excited to know they were helping clean up the sea by picking up rubbish locally- They didn't have to be at the beach to make an impact.

Loved this kit- It fitted firmly with our Enviro School kaupapa. We have a class turtle so looking at the rubbish in the sea and how it related to turtles really impacted the class. Students were picking up rubbish during their play times- voluntarily. They came back to report they they were sea cleaners. Relating the clean sea idea to our local stream and area was very effective. We will continue this until the end of term with a culmination on Enviro Day- hopefully cleaning up the neighbourhood around our stream.

In what ways did this kit impact student attitude towards environmentalism? It built on what we studied previously giving a practical element to what we studied. They were able to see how bad the rubbish problem was and have since asked to do a clean up around the school.

It was a great resource that enabled our akonga to connect with their local beach and surrounding land areas. We had studied a unit about being kaitiaki of the land last term and this meant we had a very practical way of outworking this.

Fantastic kit that linked to our te Moana theme for the term. The posters were awesome and the children LOVED having their own gloves to collect rubbish. We had a great discussion about what we found and why and how we needed to take action to stop pollution in the sea. They were able to make the connection to what they found around the school and nearby streets, how it got there and how it would make its way to the beach.
