Linking with the Wales Curriculum 2008
Designed to inspire a life-long interest in the great outdoors
and a deep respect for its resources on which we all depend,
Discovering the Environment offers an exciting context for
developing a wide range of skills across the 2008 Wales Curriculum
in English, Welsh, Science, Geography, PSE and PE, as well as in
the cross cutting Education for Sustainable Development &
Global Citizenship (ESD&GC) curriculum. To meet the needs of
the youngest learners and their teachers, there is a complete set
of materials for the new Foundation Phase.
Based on the key Countryside Code message, Respect Protect
Enjoy, children and young people are encouraged to take
responsibility for the environment, including the wider
countryside; to discover and experience its riches first-hand, and
to value what could be lost if it is not protected, respected and
enjoyed.
Through a series of activities designed to make best use of the
teaching opportunities provided by the hands-on immediacy of
outdoor learning, children and young people are helped to think
critically and understand the connections between the choices they
make and the consequences of those choices for the natural world,
and for other people.
