KEEP BRITAIN TIDY AND UNIVERSAL PICTURES (UK) ANNOUNCE THE FIRST EVER BIG BOXTROLLS RECYCLING WEEK CHALLENGE
Universal Pictures (UK) and environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy have partnered to create The Big
Boxtrolls Recycling Week Challenge with the adorable rubbish collecting movie superstars, The
Boxtrolls. Schools nationwide are being challenged to sign-up and make a fresh start to the New
Year and to de-clutter post-Christmas by entering the quirky underground world of The Boxtrolls.
The Big Boxtrolls Recycling Week Challenge, which will take place from Monday 26th – Friday 30th
January 2015, tasks teachers and pupils to collect recycling throughout January, beginning by
bringing a cardboard box of rubbish collected over the Christmas period into the school classroom.
The children then get crafty with the cardboard box and left over materials to create their very own
Boxtroll, whilst learning how to correctly recycle and care for their own communities.
Schools can enter by simply registering at the Keep Britain Tidy website www.keepbritaintidy.org/bigboxtrolls.
Once signed up, participating schools will receive fun and easy to use downloadable resource packs, which include engaging activity sheets and taking part certificates, to encourage learning and creative activity in the classroom.
The school that follows in the footsteps of the thrifty ways of the Boxtroll characters and create the most impressive Boxtroll will win a money can’t buy prize of an amazing class trip to Universal Pictures (UK) in London for a special screening of The Boxtrolls, plus a meet and greet with the movie star Boxtrolls themselves. To enter into the draw for this, registered schools should email an image of their crafty creation along with their school name to boxtrolls@keepbritaintidy.org
And that’s not all, every school that takes part will also be in the running to receive one of five visits from the exciting and giant Boxtrolls bin.
