Our City, Our World
This exciting project will help our children to be aware of some of the environmental challenges facing our planet.
It will allow them to explore how they feel about about these challenges and encourage them to see the positive work that many people are doing to make the world better.
We will always show children that there is hope and there are solutions.
As a school, we will tackle climate change and increase sustainability through the 3 Cs.
- Curriculum
- Campus
- Community
Curriculum
- Children will learn what climate change is and what we can do about it.
- They will be able to explore their feelings about environmental issues.
- We will map out the concepts that children need to know as they move through school.
- Each term, we will ‘green’ our curriculum by seeing how we can weave environmental ideas into what we already learn.
Campus
- We will be looking at what we as a school consume and produce and how we can make this more sustainable.
- A Sustainability Working Group will be formed
- Each term they will carry out an audit of our current practices.
- They will then create actions for making these practices more sustainable.
Community
- We will be asking for your support and engagement at each stage of the process.
- Each term we will be looking at a different environmental Focus (see below).
- For each focus area, we will invite you to make a family pledge to make a difference and help make our planet safer.
