This week we received a box in the mail! Inside is a kit from School Kit which has a challenge for us!
The box was filled with gloves for picking up rubbish from our local environment. And giant paper rubbish sacks - can you read what is printed on the bags?
Why would we do this? What are we trying to do? There are some instructions and a large poster to fill in with the study we are going to do in the next month.
We are trying to set an example in our Sunnyhills community by picking up the rubbish that people have made and let sit on the grass and concrete. This rubbish could be washed down the streets and into the storm water drains.
Where does the water from the storm water drains go?
Find the small storm water drain closest to your house (with an adult helping you and keeping you safe) What does it look like? What could go down the drain and where would it end up?
Go down to the Tamaki Estuary at low tide with your whanau and see what is washed out of the storm water drain? What does it look like?
