Every so often we do a spot of rubbish collecting down at our shore school spot.

Storms have washed up a lot of seaweed so it was quite a muddy, smelly business!

We weighed and recorded our collection as part of our evidence for the Eco Schools award.

We gathered 7.9 kilos of rubbish.

The UN Convention on the rights of the Child

Article 6 (life, survival and development)
Every child has the right to life.
Governments must do all they can to
ensure that children survive and develop to
their full potential.

Article 41 (respect for higher
national standards)
If a country has laws and standards that
go further than the present Convention,
then the country must keep these laws.
