Waste Management
Saving Water Workshop
Fresh water is one of the most valuable resources on the planet and one of the most hard
pressed. Even here in the UK we have experienced water shortages in recent decades - yet
we all still treat it as an inexhaustible resource that will always be available in abundance.
This session is aimed at re-evaluating the value of a natural resource we take for granted.
Explores the value of freshwater, increasing pressures on its availability and how nature
’recycles’ the planets fresh water supply and the reasons why water needs to be higher on
our personal priority list for reduction of wastage.
Session lasts 30 minutes for a maximum of 15 children.
YEAR ROUND ACTIVITY P7
PLEASE NOTE: For this ac-
tivity children will each
need to bring with them
one 2 litre Plastic Bottle
Waste Management
Litter Picking
We can conduct with your staff litter picking activities either on the school grounds or
in public spaces surrounding the school (dependent upon suitability)
We provide all of the equipment required for such sessions including litter pickers,
gloves and hi-vis bibs
These sessions also enable our staff to discuss with children in a non judgmental and
informal setting their own behaviour and the long term impact litter on the
environment. We find children are often shocked by the amount and variety of the
rubbish they find during these session.
QUESTION: Do you know the value of aluminium in the drinking cans we just throw
away every year just here in the UK?
A: Around £36 MILLION! Its time for us to change our habits!
Session lasts 30 minutes with up to 30 children .
PLEASE CONSIDER: If this is a large group or more than one group - is
there enough rubbish on the school grounds or would the session have
more impact with the children if it were undertaken at a pre-identified
local litter hot spot?
YEAR ROUND ACTIVITY P8
Waste Management
What Do You Think About
Recycling?
This activity will last over the space of 4 weeks, so that means 1 lesson a week for a
day.
This opening lesson places recycling in the context of students’ lives. It creates a
baseline for the rest of the activities by exploring students’ current understanding,
attitudes and actions. This paves the way for future activities that expand students’
knowledge and understanding and help them to think and respond differently at
times when they must make a choice. It includes an optional quiz to explore some
of the facts and figures
YEAR ROUND ACTIVITY
Allow up to 30 children .
