At St Joseph’s Primary, the Litter Less Superheroes have been hard at work sprucing up the area in and around their school grounds to the delight of everyone in the local community. It was a pleasant and successful action.

The school received then a grant from Glasgow City Council and the Community Planning Partnership, on top of £200 from the Wrigley Litter Less Campaign through Keep Scotland Beautiful, to help boost litter-picking efforts. When the pandemic hit, teachers and pupils had to quickly rethink their plans.

Laura explains: “Our key worker children, who remained in school, started litter-picking and, not knowing how long remote learning was going to last, we then incorporated some other aspects such as exploring habitats, animals, mini-beasts and birds to look out for in the grounds. “The pupils really enjoyed it.” Children working remotely during lockdown periods also got involved, says Laura. It wasn’t appropriate or safe to ask our pupils to litter pick at home given our urban, city centre location. All, however, were encouraged to take part in the #Litterlesstogether competition. Our P1 pupil, Jackson, was delighted to win with his junk model and will now be put forward for the UK competition, representing Scotland."
