Recently at Life’s a Beach, we had the pleasure of visiting the children at Rowde C of E Primary School. We spent the day with 131 students, educating them about the dangers of pollution, and inspiring them to help battle the problem.
Starting with an assembly from our Charity Manager, Sophie, the children then took part in our decomposition timeline activity to help strengthen their pollution knowledge and make the day a little more fun! After this, the students headed outside kitted with hi-vis and litter pickers, to clean up an impressive 21 bags of litter, totalling 19.43 kilos!
Each year group took turns cleaning up their part of the school playgrounds and field. They focused particularly on the areas where the wind had blown litter, after learning in assembly how the wind can contribute to littering.
We also donated a reusable bottle to every student to encourage more sustainable habits and reduce single-use plastic waste. By providing each student with their own bottle, we hope to empower them to make environmentally conscious choices both at school and at home.
Well done to all the students who took part in making the school a cleaner environment, and a big thank you to Rowde school for being so welcoming. We know how important future generations are in the battle against protecting our planet, and we hope the children at Rowde school are feeling inspired after our visit!
