“It gave the children purpose and a 'there is something I can do' to help make a difference. It made them aware of the types of rubbish that is littered on our beaches and we discussed how these types could impact on sea life and the greater environment.”

Teacher Feedback

A cluttered desk with a laptop, a coffee cup with latte art, a small potted plant, a yellow pen, a smartphone showing messages about a turtle, various educational and informational sheets about cleaning up sea rubbish, a pair of gloves with the message "rubbish free," and a paper stating "We're keeping the sea rubbish free." A turtle-shaped device with a QR code on its back is also on the desk.

What people are saying.

 

Impact on Student Attitude

“Our class have been highly motivated to learn about our local waterways and the effect of human habitation on the flora and fauna of this area.

The children were amazed at how much rubbish they collected on our local beach and around our local estuary. They are very much more aware of the effect of rubbish in our environment and what things can be recycled or reused.”

Outstanding kit that challenges children’s thinking

“A fabulous resource that allowed children to be challenged by the choices they are making. It made them think about their responsibility towards our environment and what they could do to make a difference in our World”
