The Sustainability and Climate Change Curriculum Outdoors Key Stage 2: Quality Curriculum-Linked Outdoor Education for Pupils Aged 7-11 - Key Stage 2

Promoting the inclusion of climate change and sustainability issues within the primary curriculum, this cutting-edge guide provides age-appropriate activities, curriculum links and opportunities for progression in knowledge and skills across lower and upper KS2.

Designed to bring contemporary issues to life, the set of progressions include engaging and detailed lesson plans based around the Science National Curriculum throughout KS2. The book introduces essential curriculum concepts and teaches species identification, showing pupils how to encourage care and action for the natural world through outdoor activities linked to key curriculum goals. It demonstrates ways to progress children's learning through leadership in a model science curriculum and by the reformation of their own school grounds. Situating this teaching outside the classroom ensures that the developing concepts and knowledge are grounded in the real world, and being outdoors also has huge benefits for children's mental health and wellbeing. The guidance and templates for development planning are underpinned by current research, while vivid case studies bring these ideas to life.
