Uxbridge Takes Action for Nature.
At our kindy we take pride of who we are. As a centre we spend a lot of time exploring out in our community and feel proud as we wear our new green vests that let everyone know who we are.
This week as part of Conservation week we have been focusing on teaching and reminding our Tamariki why it is important look after our world, and how rubbish that is dropped can affect a lot of things in our world.
The children and Kaiako took turns using the rubbish grabbers as well as all wearing gloves to protect us as we carefully picked up litter and placed it in our re-usable rubbish bag. We had so many compliments from people up in the village and lots of smiles.
On both walks we found lots of coffee cups,, chippie packets, cans and lids. Whilst walking down Selwyn Road, we noticed a big manhole, and the children confidently shared that the water from the rain goes down the drain and also rubbish can. "It then travels down to our beach and into the ocean and the sea animals will get sick (said Mr 4 year old).
Children's Voices.
"We picked up rubbish because we want to save our planet"
"Because we don't want our planet to get dirty"
"The water to the beach, the rubbish will go to the beach and make the sea animals sick"
"To take care of the animals so they don't get sick".
"There are not to many rubbish bins anymore at the beach"
"To save our planet and town otherwise it wont be safe".
