Bag the Bruck 2015

This year P5, P6, P5/6/7 and Some P7s teamed up to Bag the Bruck at Scapa. I total we filled 23 bags with rubbish. A lot of it was bits of rope, netting, creels, cord and string as well as packing bands and plastic sheet from discarded bait boxes from fishing boats that was partially buried in the sand. We dug and pulled a lot of it out and there is plenty more marine litter at the roadside. We hope some adults will go and pick that stuff up this week. 

Here are some of our photos - everyone worked hard right up til the last minute and enjoyed a great day outside. 


We collected 23 bags of marine litter and a pile of bits too big to go in a bag as well.


Well done litter warriors!

    Hi class 5. It was terrible how much litter we got we got about 23 bags. We hardly had to move to find rope,plastic or metal. It's shocking how much litter comes on to the beach from miles away. But its fun to pick up litter because you know you are helping animals.

    Hi class 5. I enjoyed when we did bag the bruck because it was challenging to get submerged rope from underneath the sand at Scapa. It was also fun when you got another group to help you pull the thing from underneath the sand because the person that was pulling at the end always fell over. I wish that we could do this again.

    Hi class 5. I had so much fun at Scapa. I loved picking up all the litter and making the beach much cleaner. We all got into groups and my group found so much rope. Then we went to the toilet to wash our hands and eat lunch. When I was eating lunch I saw a little jumping bug. When one group found a giant rope and needed help to pull it out my group came to help and we got the rope out. When we left we had filled twenty three bags of litter. The beach is cleaner now there is still some litter but we picked up as much as we could. I would love to do this again. From Jessica.

    Hi class 5 when all my group did bad the bruck we all found long long ropes and wooden planks and worst of all plastic it was amazing how much bags we got. 23 bags is astonishing and not that but we have done a fantastic job cleaning the beach.
    But it is disappointing how much we found. BAD THE BRUCK.

    Hi class 5
    I enjoyed bag the bruck yesterday. I picked up a lot of the little bits of string and rope we found a few bottles with water in them and some big bits of rope that lots of people were digging. It was fun eating lunch at the stones. we also found a wilk some people called it Jim-bob and some people called it sandy. there was a lot of plastic in the sand dunes. One group found a bucket There was only one problem the sand kept going in peoples eyes. It was a tiring walk back to school my feet were still sore when I went to bed last night.

    Hi class 5 I really enjoyed doing Bag The Bruck think it was very fun and very annoying because the sand kept on going in my eyes but that is just the sand and because of the wind and it was going in my hair I was realy wanting to go to sleep but yet again I wanted to go in the shower as well. I wish that we can do more of this next time. you Miss Mackay.

    Hi Class 5,
    What a wonderful bunch of litter warriors you are. Scapa beach is much safer for sea creatures and 23 x more pleasant for visitors to stroll upon.
    Thank you for all your hard work P5, it has really made a difference.
