GROW UP GREEN Teaching Resource.

The resource is aimed at primary school teachers, for use with Key Stage 1 (4-7yrs) and 2 (7-11)yrs children. The pack has been produced with the help of practicing teachers and provides a series of fun stimulating activities to raise environmental awareness.

This pack has been produced by Groundwork Sheffield in association with the Green Roof Centre, as part of their commitment to environmental education. It aims to engage children with the environment and introduce ways of tackling climate change both at home and within the school grounds. Wildflower Wendy and her trusty sidekicks, Roofus and Sparky will guide you through the pack and associated activities.

The pack comes in a ring binder folder to enable easy photocopying of tasks for distribution to students.
