These polluters need a good sorting out.
You can use everything you learn to teach the polluters a lesson. So make sure someone’s ready to record the results and discussions.
Beach Clean & Sort is an Explore activity, all about getting active and investigating critical issues. For a full Ocean School journey, we’d recommend doing a Connect exercise first, to help you feel closer to the sea and get things off to a chilled start. And then once you’ve done the Explore task, finishing with a Protect activity to put everything you’ve learned into action.
