Armed with posters designed by their peers, they went door to door to tell us about the dangers of high-rise litter and corridor clutter. And after they had de- livered their message, “Do you have any plastic recyclables for us?” Our clean and green Superheroes tudents from Jingshan Primary Slearned through litter – well, the litter they collected – on 24 April, when they cleaned up around our blocks. Getting up close and per- sonal with the things people throw on the ground, they got quite angry with litterbugs, and some declared they would make sure their parents didn’t litter. Afterwards, the litter they collected was sorted, weighed, and the data used to plot a graph for a worksheet. They learned social graces and math in one morning!
