17/10/2017Our Free Educational Resources for ages 8-11

 

We’ve designed this educational pack with the help of school kids and a cubs pack, so teachers and community group leaders can deliver a fun and engaging session on the environmental impacts of litter and waste very easily and with little prep.

 

The contents have been successfully tried and tested with KS2 (ages 8-11) and help them really understand:

 

• Why dropping litter is bad for our environment, wildlife and communities
• Why it’s important to think carefully about balloon releases and how we use certain ‘single use’ plastic items
• What we shouldn’t flush down the loo and why!

 

The resources can easily be delivered in an hour. If you want to, sessions can be made longer by spending more time discussing the facts, designing anti-litter posters or getting out and doing a litter pick.

 

The resources also include a pledge certificate and some suggestions for the promises kids can make having completed the learning. We’ve given some ideas such as ‘I promise never to drop litter’, ‘I won’t release helium balloons’ or ‘I’ll buy fewer drinks in plastic bottles’. We encourage kids to make these pledges with support of their family to get the discussion going at home too.

 

We’re always keen to hear your feedback and have now started work on resources for use with older age groups. Watch this space.
