Are you struggling to include the three dimensions of sustainability included in V.2.0? You're not alone! Many Educators are a little unsure how to include all three dimensions with age appropriate experiences AND record them in their Sustainability Calendar.
We've created a resource to do this for you! These experiences are for children 3-12 years and place the 3 dimensions of sustainability within the 7Rs.
We designed this pack of 43 cards to prompt and inspire you to create a sustainable V.2.0 program that will foster children’s connection with social, economic, and environmental sustainability. They provide inspiration for easy yet educational, sustainable learning experiences and practices you can implement today.
Each card points to a resource pack with instructions, tips, and extension ideas. Some include great templates, while others have step-by-step instructions. Simply use the QR Code in your pack to access the full library of resources. (Valued at $149.99)
The 3 dimensions of sustainability are broken up into the 7 Rs to support you in planning and implementing the experiences and recording them in your My Sustainable Year Wall Calendar. These include:
-
Refuse: Avoid unnecessary waste.
-
Reduce: Minimise waste.
-
Reuse: Utilise materials more than once.
-
Repair: Fix instead of discard.
-
Recycle: Repurpose materials.
-
Respect: Foster respect for the environment.
-
Reflect: Think about the strong connections between children and the world around them.
Make a great pair with our first Sustainable Educational Program Cards Deck!
These cards work best when used with Our Sustainable Year Wall Calendar in which each R has its own space to record your experiences. The Calendar is designed to be completed alongside the children and act as a record of sustainable practice for families and assessors to view.
There are endless ways to use the cards in your service! Use the prompts to select an experience based on children’s interests, or use a ‘lucky dip’ method to choose one at random and ask the children if they would like to try it.
Guarantee your program is addressing the Sustainability principle and learning outcome 2. Our experiences also draw in other learning outcomes, including fostering children's identity, their sense of wellbeing, active learning skills, and communication so you can also complete your Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary at the same time!
That's right, they are the perfect tool to save you time, inspire a creative program AND improve your service's sustainability practices.
