@BrittAckroyd Refection is key! If we don't reflect on our practices we cannot create better learning activities to engage our students. Thanks for sharing
@BrittAckroyd The is very eye-opening Brittany! You don't realise how much of an effect these events do have on our health & wellbeing. A daily check in when doing the roll would be a great way to just informally gauge how they are doing.
@JuliaCutajar Oh I love Harmony day! It's such a great day to celebrate in schools. I would run an activity where students draw their hands and for each finger they write who they feel like they belong with.
@BrittAckroyd Thank you Brittany. It does provide endless opportunities doesn't it! And not only does it suit the English syllabus it also is interchangeable with all KLA's.
A book on rubbish, recycling, and protecting our planet. What a great resource for lower primary students. This book could lead onto many discussions with students involving themselves, learning to live a sustainable lifestyle.

What a way to engage students into the conversation of plastic pollution. This activity would cross over with the Creative Arts curriculum. How would you include this in your classroom? #Educ4750#Sdg14#UoNTeach

@EvePollard_ Thanks Eve. That's correct, this is why I believe literature belongs in all KLA's not just English. The learning that comes out of books is incredible and will always be a great resource,
Another great piece of literature to be used in teaching about #SDG14. By introducing students to sea pollution and enabling them to become global citizens and think sustainability. I will definitely be using this book in my teaching. #UoNTeach#Educ4750
This book ‘The Mess That We Made’ is an excellent resource written by Michelle Lord, that encapsulates global awareness of sea pollution and environmentalism. This book enables students to think critically about the future of our planet. #SDG14#EDUC4750#UoNTeach
@EvePollard_ This is an awesome way to include minecraft into SDG14 Eve! This would prompt an inquiry for students to discuss together the effects on the environment.
Minecraft is a great way to incorporate 21st Century skills into students learning. And what a great way to engage students interactively into big issues such as #SDG14. How would you utilise #minecraft in teaching about Life Below Water? #UoNTeach#Educ4750
@EvePollard_ Get out, that is awesome! An interactive way to create their own ICT version of a vege garden. I really like this activity. How would you include this in your classroom?
@EvePollard_ A rocket ship, how cool! I would incorporate Art and get students to trace their shadows with materials and then decorate their shadow. Great idea for responsible consumption!
@jackmacp133 What a great activity Jack! Kind of similar but I would ask students what they could create in the game to stop any rubbish going into the ocean without affecting the environment. Students would be critically thinking ways to be sustainable for both the ocean and the land.
@jackmacp133 Thanks Jack. I think so too, outdoor learning in the local environment is a great way to engage students and create significant learning activities.
Primary geography should include significant outdoor learning using the local area. #Place, #space and #sustainability should be blended into geographical place-based curriculum making (Dolan, 2015)
It is definitely worth the read!

Dolan (2015) proposes that geographical place-based curriculum is pivotal in promoting #Education for #Sustainability. How do we authentically combine Geography and outdoor learning within our pedagogical practice?

@Rachelle_m_99@Take3fortheSea It is isn't it! That is awesome that you will be incorporating Tae 3 for the Sea into your school program. I think it would engage a lot of students while educating them on the dangers of pollution to the sealife.
Have you heard of Take 3 for the Sea?
It is an awesome organisation that inspires participation, building a global movement of people in assisting in the plastic pollution solution.
#UoNteach#educ4750
Great changes come when individual actions are multiplied.
If you could hold up one sign for the whole world to see, what would it say? 🤔

@JuliaCutajar I love the Take 3 for the Sea program. I think this should be included once a year into schools sparking further investigation into why our beaches have so much rubbish.
