What a gorgeous day to head to the beach! Ok we were there for some serious beach cleaning but we had so much fun doing this in the sunshine! The minibuses dropped us off at the farm and we all trooped down towards the shore. Once there we were, we were met by\u00a0Venetia (the lady who organises this)\u00a0and, once equipped with disposable gloves and litter pickers and sorted into small groups, we set to work!<\/p>\n

Oh my what a busy time we had cleaning. From big pieces of rubbish (tyres, plastic crates) to smaller bits (bottle lids, cans) we collected them all and then gathered our cleared-up rubbish in a handy spot for it to be collected and disposed of properly.<\/p>\n

Finlay’s dad brought along Wayne and Koda – you might have read about them in the Free Press as they are on a One Man and His Dog mission to walk around the coastline of the UK, litter-picking as they go. We sat and chatted to Wayne and asked some questions about his adventures so far. He was very impressed to meet us whilst we were doing a beach clean. We all need to do our bit to keep our beautiful countryside looking wonderful! The children of Leswalt Primary are very knowledgeable about their responsibilities for caring for their environment and P1-4 were keen to share some of what they are learning about in class as part of their topic too.<\/p>\n

Enjoy our snaps and the recounts of some very happy litter-pickers!<\/p>\n
