This is a powerpoint for the first day back to school specifically for expectations.

Lesson 2 out of 6. This Lesson looks at the Earth’s crust and the explores the layers.
The activity involves children making their own earth with the layers inside, an alternative activity could be pulling apart a boiled egg and labeling.
This resource is for children learning the continents and oceans.
It is set out as a map with the continents in shadow form. The children then have to stick the continents and seas onto the map in the correct places, using the shadows as guidance.
I laminated mine and used velcro tabs to make it a reusable activity for the children. This activity is a great way to develop memory skills, as well as an ability to plan, test ideas and solve problems.

What is a Carbon Footprint?
A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (especially carbon dioxide) released into the atmosphere as a result of human activities.
Examples of activities that increase it:
Driving petrol/diesel cars
Flying
Using electricity from fossil fuels
Eating meat
Buying new clothes often
Visuals: Icons or images of cars, planes, factories, meat, and electricity.
REAch 2 Carbon Reduction Efforts
Overview:
REAch 2 is working to reduce its carbon footprint by using energy-efficient systems, promoting recycling, and encouraging sustainable practices in schools.
Student Engagement:
What questions would you ask someone from REAch 2 about their efforts?
Space for students to write interview questions.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce: Use less turn off lights, avoid waste.
Reuse: Use items again water bottles, bags.
Recycle: Turn waste into new products paper, plastic, cans.
How it helps: Less energy is used, fewer resources are needed, and fewer emissions are produced.
Planting Trees
Video: How Trees Help
Take notes while watching. What do trees do for the planet?
Key idea: Trees absorb CO 2 and release oxygen.
Why Trees Alone Are not Enough
Trees take time to grow.
They can not absorb all the CO 2 we produce.
We must also reduce how much CO 2 we create.
Lifestyle changes are essential (e.g., using less energy, eating less meat).
Reducing Energy Use
List all the electrical items you use at home/school.
Reflection Questions:
Can you turn them off when not in use?
Do you leave lights or devices on?
Could you use less heating or air conditioning?
Key message: Every small action helps reduce fossil fuel use.
School Walkabout Activity
Instructions:
Walk around the school.
Look for ways to reduce energy use and waste.
Examples:
Lights left on?
Computers on standby?
Could we plant trees or recycle more?
What changes could we suggest?

Passive Voice Game
Aim of the game: capture as many locations as possible!
To do this you must roll a dice to move a space, you cannot go diagonally!
When you land on a location click on its number. This will take you to a slide with an active voice sentence.
To mark the space off of the map you must turn the active sentence into passive! If you lose you do not get the location and your turn ends.
