School Cleaning: Getting Everyone Involved
11 February 2020
Classrooms and the entirety of a school environment has to provide a clean and safe space for both children and adults.
Whilst professional cleaning companies maintain spotless rooms overall, there are tasks teachers and pupils can undertake to help. Today at Clean360 we are offering some guidance on how to encourage and cultivate wonderful spaces to learn.Begin with Simple Tasks
Primary schools are the perfect environments for smaller children to thrive and simple yet important tasks forge confidence and good practice. Inspiring the younger generation to spot litter and place it in the bin is not only a feelgood factor, it’s a notion to take through life. This simple task shows children how small acts of awareness affect their environment. Additional great habits pupils can get involved with include wiping their feet after playtime and picking up coats from the cloakroom floor. There will always be a standout number of individuals who will thrive with the challenge whilst encouraging others to get involved.
Be Individually Responsible
This is another great value to grow up with and is usually encouraged from day one in primary schools. Learning to put pens, pencils, glue, paints, scissors and books away after use means each and every child is responsible for themselves. This is an imperative lesson to learn for the individual and everybody else in the classroom. It’s a well documented fact that when we’re in a tidy and clean environment, we’re more likely to retain information.
Teach Awareness
Children sit and await instruction and when young they are eager and willing to soak up every piece of information they’re fed. Try and put yourself in the shoes of a 6-10 year old for just a moment. Now imagine you’ve noticed a puddle of water in the corridor. You immediately reach for the handy paper towels to cover it before telling a teacher. Just how proud do you feel? Such small undertakings to adults are huge deals for children. The act of clearing away a spill shows an awareness for others and the environment as well as themselves.
We understand the above guidance is likely to be obvious from an adult perspective. These objectives however are teaching a whole lot more than cleanliness. When children take responsibility for their surroundings they are learning lifelong skills that make a difference. Confidence grows and awareness develops for their peers.
Applying Cleanliness to the Environment
The government is hugely keen on promoting carbon footprint reduction and by schools taking this on board it will be part of the generations to come. There’s some great ways to encourage children to care about what happens to waste including the addition of recycle bins. Arming pupils with knowledge on landfill and animal harm due to waste, offers reliable information to take home to parents. Life skills such as recycling and carbon footprint pave the way for best practice in the future.
Daily school cleaning is important and needs to be carried out by professional contractors. Teachers and pupils can however make the job of a cleaner much easier by learning simple tasks in the first instance.
