Cleaning up Walton
During our walk to St Mary’s Church for our Harvest performances, several children from our class complained about the about amount of litter and rubbish along the pathways and grassed areas that we passed to get there. After taking a vote against other issues they had raised, it was agreed that this was something they wanted to improve.
The children made a list of things they could do and split into groups as to who would do what. The children have taken photographs of the litter and dog mess and sent them to the council with letters requesting more rubbish and dog bins along the pathways. Other children have designed posters to go up reminding pedestrians to use the bins or take litter home. Rabbit children felt it necessary to clean the area so some have collected the rubbish and taken the abandoned shopping trolleys back to the supermarket.
Another group of children rang a double glazing factory whose site backs onto the paths to ask them what they think of the area and see if they can make any changes. They then wrote to the manager sending him a sample of the rubbish. Rabbit class are waiting eagerly for a response from the Council and the glazing company.
