Beach Clean

Beach Clean

On Friday, the 27th of September the senior syndicate of Waikowhai Primary School went on a beach clean. Previously in the year, we have been learning about the horrible effects of rubbish on the beaches, so the teachers  decided to do something about this. Our plan was to go to Waikowhai Bay (the beach closest to our school) and clean up and hunt for rubbish in different parts of the beach.

At the beginning of the day, we put on our gloves and got our bags, then we headed off to Waikowhai Bay. Once we got to Waikowhai bay, we got put into groups. I was put with Zoe, Chimay, Jia, Abigail, Neeve, Apollo and Araya. There was so much rubbish pushed between rocks and stuffed in high places. I even found an indian statue. 

At the end of the day We gathered a few full black rubbish bags. I think there is too much rubbish on the beach, and that other people should care about the ocean and its creatures, just like us. I also think that the Beach Clean was a great idea because we were helping the environment.
