Earth Day is a special day celebrated every year on April 22nd by people right around the world. It is a time to celebrate our wonderful planet and think of all the many ways we can care for it and make it a better place for all the creatures of the Earth – We all need to be guardians (Kaitiaki) of Mother Earth (Papatuānuku). It is a great treasure.(He taonga nui).
TOCK is an Earth loving robot from a sad future who is travelling through time to learn about and inspire tamariki to work together to keep the Earth healthy and full of life. During 2021 he met over 4000 children in Christchurch through his visits to local Early Learning Centres and Primary Schools and thanks to support from Christchurch City Council Sustainability Fund is looking forward to meeting many more this year through his in class school workshops. Find out more about TOCK.earth.
To help celebrate Earth Day 2022, TOCK teamed up with Christchurch City Libraries to organise a fun Earth Day competition for tamariki aged 0-12 years old.
