New this morning in your #ATALibrary: The School Garden Curriculum: An Integrated K-8 Guide for Discovering Science, Ecology, and Whole-Systems Thinking https://t.co/4K0SRGuV0Q
Calling all young scientists! Follow our video on how to create a weather station with some everyday items you can find around the house. Don't forget to record and share your findings with us ⛅🌧️ https://t.co/Cpmwh47nND
A big thank you is in order for all of the staff that take the time to initiate and organise Breakfast Clubs. This is such an important program within schools as it gives every student the opportunity to have the most important meal of the day. What breakfast foods do you offer?
A toast to the Breakfast Club! 🍞
Student leaders and staff from @SpeersPointPS prepare and serve breakfast twice a week.
Is your family team toast or team cereal?

The benefits of outdoor learning are undeniable. Students can learn whilst building a relationship with nature and sustainability. How will you alter your lessons to ensure all are exposed to these benefits and more? Follow the link for ideas. #educ4750 https://t.co/bPTkIAJg0q
@GrimmondLee Couldn’t agree more. This will also hopefully influence them to think about what they’re eating at home, and choose healthier items like the ones we will grow in our garden.
Here are just some of the benefits to a school garden. School gardens can also teach sustainability, and promote physical activities within our students. Every school should have a garden. Do you agree? #Educ4750#UoNTeach
Literature is a brilliant way to teach content whilst immersing the students in creative and imaginative features. Here are some brilliant stories that explore healthy eating in a fun and creative way. Do you use literature as a form of pedagogy? #Educ4750 https://t.co/ktn6furRVA
The importance of community involvement is crucial. What better way to get students engaged and involved within the community than doing a joint garden within the school where students can learn healthy habits and gain physical activity. #UoNTeach#Educ4750#SDG3
By investing in community engagement, both student and teacher are provided with opportunities to recognise and value community knowledge. This knowledge can be used in education to motivate student engagement, and family-school involvement!

@Melissa_321M I certainly do. I’m going to create a school garden as well as incorporate physical activity within my other KLA lessons also. Such great benefits for outdoor learning.
This article breaks down multiple benefits for outdoor learning. Students personal development, health and behaviour are just some of the things that are improved due to outdoor learning. Give this a read and comment if you can think of others. #Educ4750 https://t.co/FcmnANgtiu
Couldn’t agree more. Put your students in control of their own thinking and learning. Influence your students to take the leap from rote learning to critical thinking and creative learning. Which is your favouring thinking cap? #Educ4750#UoNTeach#SDG3
Using De Bono’s 6 Thinking Hats is such an effective way for students to be involved in their learning! This encourages them to explore and learn about real-life issues such as pollution and climate change, #collaboratively and gets them thinking #critically#UoNTeach#Educ4750
Love this resource. This resource can ensure students are thinking about what they are eating and become conscious, healthy humans. Through this activity, students can learn how to be responsible for the healthy habits they adopt. Thank you for sharing! #Educ4750#UoNTeach#SDG3
#Educ4750 peers focusing on #SDG3 have you heard of the NSW government healthy lifestyle program 'Live Outside the Box'? This challenge allows students to track their eating habits as well as their physical and sedentary activities. Check it out! #Educ4750#uonteach
What a fantastic resource that you can use into introduce a school garden unit to your class. This educational video will give students some background knowledge and idea of what they will be achieving. #Educ4750#UoNTeach

This journal by Anne Doolan is brilliant. It delves into the opportunities that place based, outdoor learning provides to students. More specifically it analyses how geography and its core concepts are best taught outdoors. What do you think?#Educ4750 https://t.co/6L2XOLMvob
It doesn’t have to be difficult to get your students moving and active. We all know the benefits to children’s health and learning abilities when they’re active. Here are some fun ideas for brain breaks that promote exercise in a fun way. #Educ4750#uonedu https://t.co/8S11QNbWtf
@Melissa_321M Children’s literature is a way for students to learn whilst being immersed in creativity and imaginative thinking. Such a great teaching resource. Thanks for sharing.
