West Boldon Environmental Education Centre, in South Tyneside, is run
in partnership with Groundwork South Tyneside and The National Grid.
The centre offers a free Environmental Information Service (EIS) to
schools and other interested parties. The service aims to provide information
on all aspects of the environment, nature, wildlife and environmental
education. Users can contact the centre and request worksheets, lesson
plans and information on curricular and cross-curricular topics relating
to environmental education and connecting subjects. Information can
relate directly to the National Curriculum, targeting key areas such
as science, geography, sustainability and citizenship.
The EIS will also provide information and advice regarding environmental
issues and resources, for example providing details of the education
packs that are available from other organisations and companies, such
as Shell and the RSPB, as well as provide useful contacts for environmental
initiatives in the area.
Requests received to date have covered a wide range of topics such as
lesson ideas and resources available on renewable energy, advice on
recycling contacts in the region, practical lesson ideas for the science
curriculum and advice on funding sources for environmental projects
in schools. Users have included primary and secondary teachers, youth
leaders and other environmental organisations such as The Wildlife Trust
and English Nature.
So
if you need to find vital resources or information regards the environment,
please contact the centre, and we will endeavour to answer your request
as soon as possible.
The centre also offers a comprehensive environmental education programme
and hosts a range of public events and courses. For further details
