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?
Well how exciting! I will be very interested to know what you are goin g to do to make a difference. Make sure that you keep me updated!

ReplyDeleteSo much fun! and great for the environment.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great topic to be influencing. I have donated to Teamtrees.org which is an organisation that plant trees to reverse climate change. $1 = 1 tree. Cleaning the oceans is important. If we all picked up 1 bit of rubbish off the ground there would be billions of rubbish put back where it belongs.
