Today, as part of the school values 'Whanaungatanga' (community) and 'Kaitiakitanga' (others) we went for a walk around Moana picking up rubbish off the side of the road, in the gutters, around the church and in the bushes. We were very surprised at the amount of rubbish we collected, as Moana always looks very clean and tidy.
We had groups of four people who worked together to fill up their rubbish bags. Almost all of the bags were filled. The type of rubbish we found were: cans, beer bottles, cigarette butts, bottle lids, drink bottles, glad wrap, chewing gum, a hair tie, kit kat wrapper, packets of chips, chocolate ice cream wrapper, knickers, socks and so much more!
Today we went down just two streets. We can't wait for next week to collect rubbish again, but this time, with BIGGER bags!
