Green Up Your Act Education teaches the meaning of sustainability through workshops using a balance of discussion, practical activities and out of class learning. The project’s main objectives are to enable children to become aware of their own carbon footprint. They are taught this through the subjects of food, waste, recycling, energy production and pollution. By doing this they can become inspired and empowered to protect their direct environment. Many areas of the curriculum are covered, particularly science, geography and citizenship.
Now offering a combination workshops as a package to all school wanting to address
environmental issues.
Full CRB check available on request
All prices are very reasonable

“All of our classes from Year 1 to Year 5 enjoyed their inspiring and hands on activities of making pots and planting them with food seedlings – all in just one hour for each class workshop. The activity had many links for each class with their science and creative curriculum and with our Eco week themes. This was the highlight of our school Eco Week because it linked every aspect of our educational focus: food, transport, reduce, reuse, recycle, simplicity, co-operation; there was no preparation required on the part of the teachers and we were amazed at what could come out of two handmade baskets carried on the bus – enough to provide every child with their own pot making material, the compost and a variety of food seedlings to go in it. This was a workshop of huge educational value and one which every child learnt a practical skill of immense value, as well as getting to take their seedling home to grow and eat. We are looking forward to more input another time.”
