@dingo_98 This would be such an interesting unit of work Lachlan! I think hands-on activities would be the best in engaging the students. A math lesson on volume would be interesting when recording water waste when a tap is left dripping.

Active learning in the school garden can contribute to real-world problem-solving skills. Using tangible items with the children in the garden will help them understand these sometimes difficult concepts of mathematics and numeracy. Would this help in your school too? #UoNTeach

Healthy kids association is a great learning tool to utilize in any classroom when focusing on PDHPE. It has child-friendly resources that can easily be implemented for all different types of ages. Check out the link below!

@__parkerwill @Clean_Up I love these little interesting facts! They are very relevant to our students so they can recognise the difference they could make by participating in community cleanup.

[Joshua Harvey @Josharvey_11]

@DeAnnaliese This sounds super interesting Annaliese. @KateMac96285166 is doing something very similar, so maybe you two have resources that could benefit each other.

@KateMac96285166 @Clean_Up @cleaner_seas You could even use google sheets which is a collaborative way to share your findings amongst other classes if it was a whole-school approach. This could then lead to some great math lessons. Love the idea of cleanups every term rather than once a year.

#Googlesheets is a great way to expand knowledge of different types of fruit and vegetables being consumed within our schools. Classes can log their choice of fruit or veg during #crunchnsip so other classes can see. This could then even lead into a mathematics lesson. #UoNTeach

I absolutely love this picture book! It is perfect for my unit I'm planning which incorporates #healthyeatinghabits with a focus on fresh fruit and vegetables. Definitely worth looking at this one when possible. #UoNTeach #EDUC4750

For anyone in Newcastle wanting to work with the local Aboriginal community (#Awabakal), I found this link which is helps access their help. #UoNTeach

@kurt_lomas How great are these activities! Turning recyclable goods into art would be such an engaging and fun activity for our students. Thanks for sharing.

[Joshua Harvey @Josharvey_11]

@KateMac96285166 This is such an interesting point. It would lead to such a great research task for students to use their critical thinking and 21st-century skills to think of possible solutions. Thanks for bringing this point up.

[Joshua Harvey @Josharvey_11]

Thanks for sharing Corrie. I'm definitely considering this program now as well in my own unit which is incorporating a community grown garden growing our typical fruit and vegetables and also bush tucker. #UoNTeach #EDUC4750

[Corrie Anderson @corrie_anderson]

@BurnsTiarna Did you know The Tucker Bush Schools Program assists schools in establishing their own bush tucker gardens. This enriches learning environments with native edible plants and educates students about Aboriginal history and culture. Check out their website https://t.co/qRqes4BAkY

[Joshua Harvey @Josharvey_11]

My unit has an influence and focuses on bush tucker. Below is a link to some bush tucker recipes that could easily be introduced into the 'mixtures' outcome in the science and technology syllabus. https://t.co/UPo1NfgsvP

For those of you lucky enough to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, I found this website very useful in tips for teaching these students. Let's work together in #closingthegap. #UoNTeach #EDUC4750 https://t.co/MjPXGv7nsf

@__parkerwill It's great to see school-aged children being such leaders not only on a national level but on a global level too. Such an inspiring young woman motivating students to contribute to sustainable futures.

[Joshua Harvey @Josharvey_11]

@AmyMari84473950 This is such a great resource Amy! I too am incorporating Aboriginal perspective into my upcoming unit so it will be a great resource for me to use. Thanks for sharing.

[Joshua Harvey @Josharvey_11]

@dingo_98 This would be an interesting topic to encorporate into my own unit plan to do with school gardens. Students could possibly do their own research on the fruit & vegetables that they’re growing. Thanks for sharing.

[Joshua Harvey @Josharvey_11]

@RachelWysocki1 @RKrechting @NiallOfficial I too agree with @Annabel52301684! Celebrities can influence students in such a positive way so it'd be great to see more celebrities talk on topics such as sustainability more.

[Joshua Harvey @Josharvey_11]

@JohnCronin98 Yes, great idea! This is definitely something that could be incorporated in schools that have school gardens.
@DeclanOngod this might be something that you may benefit from as well.

[Joshua Harvey @Josharvey_11]

@BurnsTiarna Wow! SO many positive impacts of these school gardens! Communication and teamwork will especially be great skills within our school communities.
