Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The gloves were great and the children wore them with pride. The resources that provided facts about looking after our environment were very valuable.

How many bags of rubbish did your class collect? We collected 5 little buckets of rubbish that would have filled 1 bag, however there had been 2 school groups visit the area we went to previously so potentially we could hav ecollected more.

How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability? This kit has given the children a broader awareness of our responsibility to care for our environment for current and future generations.

What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? The legacy that all living things on Earth are interconnected and our impact, in terms of pollution, can have a very detrimental effect on sea creatures (and other animals and plants) and that we need to ensure we make sustainable choices that are going to benefit our planet not destroy it.

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? An old nappy - nobody could believe that someone would leave this on a beach, disgusting!

“Our recent school trip to the seashore was a remarkable and heartwarming experience that left an indelible mark on the young minds of our students. Organized with a dual purpose of education and environmental responsibility, the trip saw a group of enthusiastic and inquisitive Year 1 and 2s venture out to clean up the seashore. The entire experience was a testament to the transformative power of nature, teamwork, and the impact of hands-on learning. From the moment we arrived at the picturesque seashore, the children were captivated by the breathtaking views of the rolling waves, the soft sand, and the crisp, salty sea breeze. Their eyes sparkled with excitement as they eagerly gathered around to hear about the day's mission – to clean up the beach, safeguarding the environment for future generations. The children, armed with gloves, buckets, and a passion for making a difference, set out on their mission. Their energy was boundless as they scoured the shore, meticulously picking up various pieces of litter and debris. What made this experience truly special was the way the children embraced their task with enthusiasm, turning what could have been perceived as a chore into a game. They shared their finds, from discarded plastic bottles to old jandals, counting the items as if they were treasures unearthed from the deep. During the cleanup, the children's inquisitive minds led them to ask questions about the source of the litter and the consequences of pollution on the marine ecosystem. Teachers and a CHCH City Council educator were on hand to provide valuable insights and information, turning the beach into an open-air classroom. The combination of hands-on learning and their natural surroundings made for a profound educational experience.”

They really enjoyed the followup tasks of analysing the rubbish found and sticking the rubbish onto the ocean animals,”

It was great to see them becoming aware and active in keeping our school and local area tidy.”
