Each Enviroschools Theme Area is an enquiry-based learning resource for your Enviroschools journey. In this Zoom we delve into the captivating world of the “Zero Waste” Theme Area booklet within an ECE context. Based on the Enviroschools Action Learning Cycle (ALC) we share with you the Key Concepts of this theme area, the Key Questions to help Identify the Current Situation within your ECE setting to determine your understanding, build on your current knowledge and explore further. We’ve highlighted some Consider questions alongside to spark kōrero as you delve a little deeper.
We hope to encourage our ECE network to pick up this booklet whilst watching this zoom and see how it could be utilised in teaching teams, alongside tamariki and involving whānau. We’ve sifted through the activities and identified the ones that are most ‘ECE friendly’ and share some inspiring stories from our Enviroschools online puna mātauranga. The Zero Waste Theme Area booklet is a great tool to help you explore where waste comes from and the impact of waste on our Enviroschool and the wider environment through hands-on activities and immersive experiences. Discover the power of individual and collective responsibility for reducing waste and caring for Papatūānuku.
