@JorjaBailey3 Wow yes that would be great and I am doing something very similar in my unit of work! By the end of their project they will have created their very own eco friendly product from recycled goods!

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

Have you heard of the Little Eco Shop? It's an Australian website that provides its consumers with zero waste, recycled and plastic free alternatives. Did I mention that 1% of their profit goes to the #onetreeplanted organisation!

@ZebJohnston Yes it's a great way to connect student learning to real world problems that are currently in our headlines. Have you check out Behind the News on ABC? That is also another favourite resource of mine to use in the classroom as its target audience is children.

Our oceans are in danger! If we do not start making changes to #saveouroceans this global issue is only going to get worse. Start a conversation with your students by playing this clip from #GlobalNews. It is never too late to make a difference!

@ZebJohnston @Take3fortheSea I agree Zeb! I will definitely be using this clean up initiative at the beginning of my unit of work to introduce my students to the topic.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

It is great to see students working with @Take3fortheSea and their local community to protect their beaches and wildlife from pollution. Involving students in authentic educational programs when exploring #SDG14 is a great way to educate and empower students.

Take 3 for the Sea joined Clean4Shore and students from the Berkeley Vale Campus of Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College for a clean-up and education event on the Central Coast today. We collected 116.5kgs of litter! Full story here https://t.co/Szratzo9M1

@PettetRenee Connecting learning to real world contexts is done through applying knowledge in other settings outside of school. This is a perfect example of creating experiences that are relevant to students lives. Students will make healthy choices at home and encourage others to take part.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@PettetRenee Using picture books provide an engaging visual stimulus where children can think about the ideas in the story to gain a deeper understanding of what they are learning about. I will be introducing my students to my topic using multimedia clips with both written and spoken language

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@PettetRenee @ServiceNSW This is such a great way to promote physical activity in young children to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. The vouchers are a bonus, providing equitable access to support parents in helping their child to make positive and healthy choices.

@RhiannonNigro99 This is a shocking image to consider but unfortunately it is happening around us. In order for people to access clean water we must do our part by picking up litter and using eco-friendly products that do not pollute our waterways.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@RhiannonNigro99 Did you know there are microplastics in sea salt? This means we are consuming something that can be potentially harmful to us as well as the ocean and sea life. It is time to make a change.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@RhiannonNigro99 Can you believe recycling plastic bottles can provide so many other benefits that are more sustainable and effective? How about glass bottles and aluminium cans? These could be used to make musical instruments. The possibilities are endless when you think outside the box.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@RhiannonNigro99 These helpful tips need to be accessible to all families and households as a simple reminder to ensure they are acting water smart and encouraging others to do so as well.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@RhiannonNigro99 What a great visual stimulus to use to spark a conversation with individuals and young people about water quality, sanitation and hygiene!

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@JorjaBailey3 As climate change is a global issue that is only going to get worse if measures are not put in place, primary aged students should be learning about the impacts this has on our planet and resources, allowing them to act more sustainably to preserve and care for the planet.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@JorjaBailey3 It is great to see how other countries are working towards more sustainable ways to reduce the impacts of climate change. Perhaps, other countries need to follow some of these ideas because if we all contribute then we can make a difference!

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@Lauren02484342 Sports are an awesome way to promote great qualities and attitudes with building respectful relationships, having sportsmanship and welcoming all individuals to work together for a shared purpose. These qualities are what brings people together as one creating peaceful relations.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@Lauren02484342 It is amazing what information is out their nowadays especially when it comes to technology, the possibilities are endless! This video helps prepare families transitioning to Australia but how too can families in Australia welcome other cultures?

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@Lauren02484342 Hosting this open day is an excellent way for Indigenous stories and histories to be told from a personal perspectiveThrough these authentic learning experiences, we can truly value and appreciate Indigenous history by gaining a deeper understanding of their culture and langua

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@Lauren02484342 This is a wonderful project especially because Australia has such a diverse range of cultures present. Teachers need to be aware of the traditions, histories and backgrounds of their students in order to embed these cultural practices into their pedagogies and work with families.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@jierlyng3300061 ICT is such a great resource for students to use as they find it more engaging. Using litter stopper in the classroom will only strengthen students understandings and make them more motivated to carry these practices out in their household.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@jierlyng3300061 Great visual stimulus to support students with visual learning strengths to get their head around the harsh global issues occurring in our oceans.

[Alexa Watson @alexa_watson4]

@jierlyng3300061 Wow that litter trap sure does hold a lot of pollution! Go check out an interceptor, they are being used all over the world in Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Dominican Republic to extract plastic pollution from their rivers.
