We spent the day cleaning up a short stretch (approx. 1km) of Tangimoana Beach. We filled 15 rubbish bags with all kinds of rubbish - everything from fishing nets, to glass, to toothbrushes. It was disgusting. While it made us sad that so much rubbish was on the beach, we also felt pleased to be able to do something about it. Well done team! I'm sure the sea creatures of the world would thank you if they could too!
Thank you to our wonderful parents for providing transport and carrying the heavy rubbish bags! Your support is very much appreciated.
A trailer load full of rubbish - yuck!
During our lunch break, we took some time out for the all-important hut building competition:
It was an awesome day. Very disturbing to see so much rubbish left lying around. Well done Room 6 on doing such a great job cleaning up the beach. I am sure the people who visit there often will appreciate what you all did.
ReplyDeleteAs always a very enjoyable trip out with a great bunch of Halcombe School kids. I was so impressed with you all and the effort you made in the beach clean up. Well done everyone, great photos too!
ReplyDeleteThats 15 bags less of rubbish on our beaches. Thanks Room6. Hopefully future clean ups will be less.
ReplyDeleteWell done Room 6. We are very proud of the effort you put into picking up what seems to be a massive amount of rubbish. Thanks for putting Halcombe School out there. You are wonderful ambassadors!!
ReplyDeleteIt was a really fun day, but I didn't like all the rubbish we saw, especially the nets. I hope everyone in the future will keep our oceans/beaches clean!
ReplyDeleteWell done Room 6, you did a great job cleaning up that short stretch of beach. I wonder how much you would of got if you had longer there, something to think about when visiting the beach with your family.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic effort Room 6. Thank you for making the beach a better place for others to enjoy. This experience will help you think twice, before you throw things away. Your parents can be very proud that you care about our environment so much.
