Curriculum, and Resources

Welcome to these resources to support your setting in becoming more sustainable in theory and practice.

Included, are six dedicated sets of resource and practitioner knowledge cards, across six different themes of sustainability. These aim to assist you in implementing long-term behaviour changes as practitioners, as well as enable you to introduce the theme to your children and families.

They include:

• Food Miles
• Food Growing
• Food Waste
• Waste
• Recycling
• Resource Reuse.

Each resource contains:

• Key and factual information about the theme
• Making It Real activities to enable you to bring the theme to life
• Ideas on how to display the theme and engage parents/families
• Links to the early years curriculum
• Guidance regarding the age range of the activities
• Additional guidance and resources links to expand your knowledge and practice
• A practical activity card to enable everyone to get hands-on.

These are intended to be an introduction to a specific theme, we hope that this will then give you further ideas and confidence to be able to develop it further as a setting.
