This term we will be leaving the school each week for a walk to explore our local area. We will be focussing on participating in activities such as wearing protection from the sun, saving energy, saving water, and recycling to develop their awareness of environmental issues. Some of the skills that children will develop through this unit of work include: making and reading maps and models, safe and responsible behaviour while on local excursions, recording ideas and observations, collecting data, asking questions and using good listening skills. They will also learn to link cause cause and effect – understand those terms and some situations in which they apply.
Below you will find a collection of photos and videos from our first three walks. Week one focused on getting students to make and record observations about the different kinds of litter in their local community and who/what will this rubbish hurt. Week two focused on the rubbish in our school, students split into groups and sorted the rubbish they found into groups. This data was analysed during our maths lessons. Week 3 was centred around water and students went on a walk to record various sources of water. To end our walk, we stopped at the local car wash, where the students were lucky enough to see a car being cleaned, which was very exciting.
Enjoy!
