On Wednesday 18th of November the juniors at Howick Primary School went to Eastern beach. This all started with Miss Long teaching everyone about water and the water shortage and how the beaches are used as a fun water place.
Miss Long also said that the rubbish on the beach is polluting the oceans.
Some of the children thought that if we clean up the beach we can reduce pollution. This act is called empowered students.
We got there and had 5 different activities; obstacle course, collecting seaweed to make fertiliser, playground fun, sand castles and finally, cleaning the beach.
When cleaning the beach we found:
158 pieces of soft and hard plastic.
3 pieces of wood
43 pieces of card and paper.
9 pieces of metal.
1 piece of rubber.
5 pieces of glass and
1 piece of other rubbish
So in total we found 220 pieces of rubbish

As you can see from above, over half of the rubbish was made from plastic.
