The Beach Clean Up

On the 8th of March, at 9:00am, at Okahu bay, a group of six children from room 9 came together to clean up the beach in order to save our marine life. Our oceans are, therefore, able to stay healthy, and remain a beautiful part of our planet.

 

A member of Kelly Tarlton, Debbie explained why we were doing this project.  After the motivational talk, she handed out gloves and black bags.

 

We found lots more rubbish than we expected such as bracelets, lighters, Styrofoam, plastic bags, bottle caps, and a lot more man-made objects that may prove harmful to sea life.

 

By the end of the day, our group had found bags full of man-made rubbish. The most disappointing part of the day was that we only went half way down the beach! Think of all the trash on the rest of the beach. It just shows the lack of human responsibility towards the marine life that access this waste yard to find food. However, their bodies are not designed to digest such substances and plastic and Styrofoam should never be eaten by any living thing.

We would like to thank the participants that gave up their weekend to help us save the beach. It was a memorable experience!

Students, their parents and teachers - Georgia, Adrian, Mykie, Jayden, Connor, Liam, Mrs Watson, Minnie (the dog), Miss Lim, Mr Jay Naicker, Ms Davies-Zwarts, and Mr Dene Green helped us clean up the beach.

P.S Georgia Davies-

Zwarts was the only female student representative from Room 9! It would be great to have more girls participating in this event next time.

 

Well done everyone~!

Go Room 9~!  J
