litter week 2015 - st. stephen's school
TRANSCRIPT
St Stephen ‟ s Pr imary Schoo l
This week all the children of St
Stephen’s Primary have taken
part in Litter Week. There have
been many activities taking place
across the school and all of the
children have been involved in
litter picking in the local area.
Each class, armed with litter
pickers, gloves and rubbish bags,
took to a local street or park to
do a survey of the litter and the
findings were staggering. Every
step they took, more and more
litter appeared in front of them.
The children all took action
against this mess and picked up
all the litter they could find,
bringing bags and bags of it back
to school. Sadly, even when we
returned to a place we had
cleaned up the previous day there
was even more litter.
We also had a visit from Neeta, a
volunteer from CleanUpUK, who
informed all the children about
ways in which they can help keep
their community litter free. If
you are interested in setting up
your own litter group, please visit
their website at http://
cleanupuk.org.uk/
From this week the children have
shared their opinions about the
problems of litter and they all
agree: Littering needs to stop.
Let’s all work together to make
the streets and roads in our
community litter free.

Business Tagline or Motto
O r g a n i z a t i o n
Newham L i t t e r Ep i dem i c Leaving the school gates, I trudged sluggishly through the polluted
streets of Newham. Disgusted by the sight, I was uncomfortable
walking in the un-hygienic area. The citizens of Newham have been
causing these problems by fly-tipping which prompts a bad odour.
My eyes began to hurt as an overflowing river of rotten litter sur-
rounded the area. As I continued my journey home, I gazed at a
figure swimming through a pile of rubbish. Guilty of the mess I cre-
ated, the thought was constantly being whispered in my head that I
am harming wild-life, that I am polluting the area and that I am be-
ing a criminal…
It was my responsibility to dispose of this unpleasant debris. I had
to do my part in ensuring that the community is a safe and happy
place to be. Trying to ignore the horrendous smell of rotten trash, I stood motion-less as I examined the area. I pon-
dered over whether I could end this problem by keeping Newham a
litter free area. Knowing that I’ve harmed the community in many
ways, I was ashamed of myself.
The piles of rubbish soon began to produce intoxicating fumes. As a
car cruised beside me, one of the passengers flung a can of coke
through the window. I arrived home and noticed a crisp packet on the
floor; I picked it up and threw it in the recycling bin. I wanted to
redeem myself by starting to not litter. I am no longer the culprit of
this mess.
