Sustainability and Climate Change Curriculum KS2
"Through experientially informed, interactive discussions about environmental problems and possible solution within a nature setting, young people can be empowered to not only understand ‘the facts’ of climate change but also to develop a greater appreciation of nature." Lambert, Morgan, Roberts & Waite (2024)
Building on the award-winning National Curriculum Outdoors series, this comprehensive handbook offers essential information for teachers and sustainability leads. It provides opportunities for critical thinking, communication skills, creative thinking, and collaboration for both educators and students, demonstrating how we can all become agents of change while enjoying the benefits of outdoor learning.
Featuring exemplar outdoor learning progressions for Lower KS2 and Upper KS2, the handbook guides teachers on how to effectively apply National Curriculum science and geography programmes of study. It aligns with the DfE Sustainability and Climate Change strategy and the National Education Nature Parks program, enabling you to deliver impactful learning experiences outdoors.
