Our big rubbish clean up!

Last week it was Keep New Zealand Beautiful week. Each class had a day of the week to walk round and pick up all the rubbish we could see. Our day was Tuesday.



First, Storm handed out gloves for us to wear. We needed a glove so we wouldn't get germs.

We put our gloves on one hand, we had to remember to use this hand to pick up the rubbish!


We had 3 rubbish bags which we filled up with the rubbish we found.


We then went for a big walk round the school. We looked in the flax bushes and along the fence line....




...along the tennis court.......


...and in the bushes.

We found lots of rubbish in here. There were chippie packets, yoghurt pottles, plastic bags, bar wrappers, plastic bottles - so much!

Sometimes we had to look really hard for little bits of rubbish hiding in the ground.

We felt surprised about how much rubbish we found and excited that we had picked it all up! We filled about 2 bags!

What a fantastic job you guys done on picking up all that rubbish. I wonder how all the rubbish got there in the first place???? Did it blow out of the rubbish bins???? Great to see you are Keeping New Zealand and your School Beautiful.
