Why was everyone wearing rubber gloves today? Why were people walking around with large garbage bags?
Well, today was “Clean Up Australia Day” for schools in Australia. Everybody went out and picked up all sorts of rubbish from around the school. We found a car wheel rim, a tile, a screw driver, a hose, a ring, lots of plastic straws, litter, chip wrappers, lolly wrappers, ancient tissues and even someone’s homework!The school looks really clean and tidy now. . .
Perhaps cleaning is better than schoolwork!!
What do you think?

YAY! I’m the first one to comment.:D We found lots of unusual things. Today sure is a special day.
Bye Bye, I’m busy, just came around.
Hi guys!
I’m glad to hear that you’re doing such a hands on job as cleaning up rubbish around your school. I remember from my own days in primary school, that we spent a whole day doing exactly the same thing. The only difference is that we also cleaned up litter along the roads many kilometers outside the school. Living in Norway means that we have snow during the winter, so when the spring comes every year, there is more than flowers that pops out from underneath all of the white! Keep up the good work both with cleaning AND blogging!

Hi Allstars,
We are having a wee clean up at Sandaig too, but I think it is going to take more than a day Eco Otters » Work in the Garden.
your pictures look great and it looks like you had fun with the gloves.
Great images of a job well done allstars. Can you guys do a page for the school blog seeing you are already so good at it. See you at our clean school on Monday.
Hello 07 allstars (and Mrs P … nice to have you back! Thanks for the comment about the poems. We’ve been really busy and Miss Goodsir has been in class for the last 5 weeks - while I’ve been working away on the side-lines keeping the ‘blog’ updated .. and loads of other stuff, too. I’m back in class tomorrow - help!)
Your new blog looks great!

Hi i like the cloves blow up into big fat hands =) on picture 4 how did that person get a green glove and the other 2 got a yellow glove. On picture 5 what was the boy dipping for on picture 6 what were yous doing and it must have been somethig hard and was hard work to do. On the last picture the boy with the blue and white strip cap on why was he picking up a wheel rim off a car must have been loads of yous there on that trip. I like how yous got that bubbel share with the pictures.
I think it is gr8 that you are cleaning up your school!!! I love your blog and will look again to see what you’s have been doing!!
We have a clean up Cove day soon and we will be doing what you did and we’ll probably find lots of rubbish. Mrs McPhee thinks that this is sad because we should all take responsibility for KEEPING our local area clean in the first place.
Hi Shaun and Ryan,
It’s cool that your school and our school have something in common!
What are other special things that you do at your school??
