What do I know already?What would I like to learn? How will I learn? How will I share my learning?

What do I know already? I know we are polluting the atmosphere. I know we have to sort our rubbish for collection. I have heard about global warming. What would I like to learn? How we are damaging our planet. How different materials are recycled or reused. How at local, national and international level, we are taking steps to look after our planet. What will happen to our planet if we don’t look after it. How will I learn? Research from a range of different types of sources to find out the environmental impact of our behaviour and any particular issues of current concern. Make contact with my local council to find out how they encourage citizens to look after our environment. Invite contact to my school to talk to pupils at our school assembly. Interview contact to find out their views on the success of the approaches taken. Carry out a survey of local residents to find out how involved they are in looking after their environment. Work with contact to plan a campaign which will encourage pupils to look after their environment. How will I share my learning? Set up tasks groups to organise various aspects of a campaign: Design and create posters/fliers using different media and decide where they are to be displayed/distributed both within my school and my local community ; Script, dramatise and visually record an advertisement; Compose a song, chant or rap using musical instruments and voice, record this and rehearse for live performance during march and assembly; Organise a march with banners. Organise an assembly to present information gathered and to inform other pupils, parents and other members of the local community about the aspects of the campaign and how they can look after our environment. What can we do to look after our world?
