"Its good because we can make a differece at our school by knowing to pick up rubbish and teaching othe kids to as well."
Which kit components were the most impactful and why? The Gloves - as mentioned above

How has this kit impacted your class culture toward whenua ora (land wellness) and sustainability? Massively, the children are constantly thinking of ways we can help our environment, they are incredibly passionate.
What is the legacy this kit will leave behind on your learners? The children are definitely 'Kaitiaki of our Stream' now, we have fundraised and bought fish to place around our drains to make others aware of the dangers of rubbish going down the drain. These will hopefully be there for years to come.

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? A Clipboard!
The Sea Cleaners kit was perfect for our children during term 3. We were running a school-wide topic called "Kaitiaki of our Stream" which focused on learning about and cleaning our surrounding waters. The Sea Cleaner kit supplied the children with lots of meaningful and hands-on activities. They particularly enjoyed their individual gloves which they now take out most morning tea and lunchtimes to pick up rubbish around our school!

My new entrants/year 1 class loved this kit. We had great discussions about rubbish and how it can end up at the beach and in our waters and the impact this has on sea life. We did a trip to the local beach, the kids loved the gloves and looked for any rubbish. We also did a school clean and used the gloves and bags to collect rubbish around the school.

What was the most interesting piece of rubbish found and why? The amount of packs!
I was pleasantly surprised when we received our Sea Cleaners pack for the classroom. It was packed full of posters, information, rubbish bags and their were enough gloves for all tamariki - which they loved. The topic was fun and interactive and we were also able to explore cleaning in context to our local Moana - the lake. The sea cleaning kit was also able to be related to our wai whenua day where we are kaitiaki’s of a wet land on our school grounds. Thank you so much again!
