The target is to focus on animals according to the Special Days Calendar for 2023, as we educate our learners about various animals’ qualities and their importance and purpose on earth.
In alignment with the WESSA Special days calendar, the goal is to focus on Water & Sanitation, as we participate in at least one special day, linked to a Sustainable Schools theme, per month.
Enviro-club lessons and curriculum planning.
Computer lab or outdoors.
• Follow WESSA Special days calendar
• Plan lessons one Sustainable Schools ear 2 theme, per month

WORLD WETLANDS DAY Design a wetlands model School grounds • Discuss what the word wetland means. Explain that wetlands are amazing natural resources. They are basically ‘land’ that is ‘wet’ with shallow water. Wetlands can be swamps, ponds, lakes, rivers or even coral reefs. They are an amazing resource in our environment because they have the ability to clean dirty water. They are able to clean our water for free! • Create a list of adjectives to describe a wetland and/or draw what it might look like. Discuss your experiences of visiting a wetland. What do you think the features of a ‘true’ wetland are? You might like to use 1.4.1 to support this. • Think about the benefits of wetlands and the benefits they have for people and the environment. Why is it important for people to look after wetlands? Wetlands are currently facing challenges across the world. Since 1900 more than half of the world’s wetlands have been destroyed. • What challenges do you think wetlands are facing in your country? Use 1.4.2 to number the top three issues facing your country. Create a model wetland so that you can see how it filters water, you could use 1.4.3 as a guide. Why not go further and display it in your school for everyone to see? Alternatively, you could create a wetland awareness poster, write an acrostic poem or create a rap to encourage people to look after this important environment. https://www.waterexplorer.org/files/2_Water_Explorer_Resource_Pack.pdf Pg24-28 Ms Cawood (Enviro-club coordinator) 2 February 2023 – World Wetlands Day
WORLD PENGUIN DAY CELEBRATION Play a fishing game grass quad outside hall • Introduction – a 5-minute clip about Penguins https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8qilxaBR20 • Quick discussion – Potential threats/cause of penguin extinction: Global warming, pollution, alien invasion and over-fishing discussion. (15 minutes) Play “fishing management” game (45 minutes) • Get a tub of wrapped chocolates or an everyday bag of wrapped sweets, which will be used as the ‘fish’ in this activity. Select four types of sweets to represent four commonly caught fish species of differing commercial value – eg tuna (highest value), mackerel (high value), herring (medium value), and anchovy (low value) (https://wwfsassi.co.za/sassi-list/?_ga=2.23027186.813205777.1680958898-69581396.1680958898) Place the four types of sweets on a large table, but deliberately place fewer high-value sweets than the lower value ones, to reflect the natural differences in the abundance of these species in the environment. • Divide the class into four different teams, representing different fishing boats. Provide everyone with a ‘fishing net’ each, which could be a stick/ruler attached to a paper box. Get students to make a circle around the table with sweets, which represents the ‘open access fishery’ where everyone can catch as much fish as they want, but will consequently show the negative effects on fish stocks if fishers do not cooperate. • During the game, you should add sweets back into the pile to allow fish to ‘regenerate’ after a certain amount of time and stagger this for each species – anchovy (every 2 seconds), herring (every 4 seconds), mackerel (every 8 seconds) and tuna (every 12 seconds). This will reflect the natural growth of the fish stock. • There are three rounds to this game, and the first round should have no rules where each fishing team can fish for as many sweets as they want – this should quickly show the students that some kind of management is needed when the sweets quickly disappear. After each round, allow students to have an open discussion about their tactics and what rules they should make to allow them to fish for the higher value fish. • With each round, the aim of the activity is for the students to realize how a collapse of a fishery can occur, and think about what measures will allow them to continue to fish in a sustainable way. https://www.sciencejournalforkids.org/articles/lesson-ideas/overfishing-game-for-students/ chocolate sweets, rulers.
