Sustainability

Through the power and magic of stories, we can explore important topics such as environmental sustainability. Videos and activity ideas will be released to tie in with key environmental days across the year,  released on a half termly basis. 

These resources have been created with pupils in Years 3-4 in mind, but please use them in whatever way works best for you.  For each story, you will also find a discussion sheet and activity ideas to explore the themes further across the curriculum. 

Alongside prompting discussion around environmental topics, it is also hoped that these resources will 

• Encourage our pupils to be change makers and instil a sense of agency, equipping them to feel  we can all make a difference.
• Make links between sustainability and wellbeing and encourage a reconnection with nature.
• Offer practical ways of making a difference at home, school and in our local communities
• Promote awareness and discussion on how environmental issues make us feel and equip pupils with the language to express their views on this topic
• Expose pupils to different genres of fiction, especially those written by, or narrating the stories of, under-represented groups.
