The Generation Green Club

Generation Green is a cross-curricular resource, with an emphasis on Active Citizenship and Personal Responsibility. It also supports the NFSS and Eco-Schools initiatives. The tabs below show how each lesson links into the Key Stage 1 and P1-3 curricula.

These 8 lessons and the assembly have the ultimate aim of making pupils aged 5-7 years old aware of where energy comes from and the effect its use has on the environment.

The following is not so much a formal lesson plan as a series of 20-minute activities for you to choose from. These activities include:

A School Council
Mini Labels as reminders to switch things off
A Walk To School Week
Create an Eco-Ranger

The aim is make 5-7 year olds aware that they are part of a wider community, and as such can use these links to make a difference. If you do not already have a pupil council then perhaps this will present an opportunity to create one.

Learning objectives

To make each pupil feel that they belong to the Generation Green Club.
To apply what children have learned about saving energy in their everyday lives.
To promote energy-saving practice to others.
To create characters (Eco-Rangers) who can make a positive contribution and a difference to the school and community.
