Beach Clean

                          Beach Clean

Hello Bloggers and welcome to my first blog of term 4. On Friday the 27th of October (which is also the last day of school) the seniors in my school went on a Beach Clean. We were going to Waikowhai Bay. Our job was to clean as much of the beach as possible in the time that we had. In my old blog about the Climate Change March, I had mentioned that we had made signs. Before we left for Waikowhai Bay we grabbed those old signs and stood on the sidewalk in front of our school and chanted. Then we walked down to Waikowhai Bay with some teachers and parent helpers. 

Once we got there we had to get into groups of three. I was with my friends Abigail and Neeve. I also wanted to be with my other friends Ama, Zoe and Chimay but we could only be in a group of three. Then we had to buddy up with another group so of course we went with our friends. Then we were assigned an adult. I'm not sure who exactly my adult was but I do know that they were the father of one of the girls in my class. Two boys didn't have a group so they were with us. Our adult carried a huge bag for us to put the rubbish in. We walked along the beach picking up plastic. More than plastic we found glass and beer bottles. We found a lot of fishing rods and broken bits of fishing lines everywhere.

As we were picking up rubbish Ama called me over to where she was. She had found a small statue of two Indian gods. She wanted to show it to me because I was also Indian and might know who they are (which I did). One year ago when I had gone to this beach I had lost a statue with two Indian gods. The statue I had lost had a scrape at the bottom and so I looked under the statue and there was a scrape there too. That was the statue I had lost. Ama gave it back to me and for that I was grateful. We spent the rest of the time exploring hidden areas and trying to find rubbish until it was finally time to go back to school. WE walked back and enjoyed the rest of our day.

Rubbish is taking over the world. Please stop throwing here and there and put it in the right place. We all want a clean world to enjoy not a rubbish infected one. Hope this message reaches you and you do the right thing. The rest is in your hands. Well that's all so have a look at the photos below and blog you later.
