This work will continue
Day 1's theme of waste and address why we need to conserve water/energy.
Children will demonstrate
their understanding of environmental awareness by stating actions which
would harm or help the environment. Links will be made to respective Geography
units of study: waste matters for Years 3 & 4 and water concerns for
Years 5 & 6.
Pupils will be encouraged
to develop their ideas around a board game. The format lends itself to
many more curricular links, such as:
· Instructional
or procedural texts for Literacy
· Practical application of knowledge of shape in Numeracy e.g.
making a die or spinner
· Social and co-operative skills in planning, making and playing
the game
· Design and Technology skills and processes, in making a prototype
and evaluating it.
In the afternoon the children will be involved in a second 'low impact
lunch' activity. They will aim to produce less waste generally, with a
greater portion being reusable or recyclable waste. Children take home
a letter beforehand, informing parents of the objective so that hopefully
there will be a difference. Follow-up work will involve some basic data
handling, studying before/after figures and comparing different classes.
Once all classes have completed the activity twice, the data will be entered
into a data handling program so that more detailed analysis can be carried
out and presented in a variety of ways.
