Great Big Green Week – Get Involved

The UK’s Great Big Green Week takes place from 10 – 18 June. It’s a great opportunity to involve your school in the biggest ever celebration of community action to tackle climate change and to protect nature.  

To get started, have a look at: 

Primary School Resources – a lesson plan, assembly pack and teacher’s guide.  

Secondary School Resources – a lesson plan for those aged 10+, that includes letter templates and a presentation. 

Both packs invite pupils to write a “Letter to Tomorrow”, in which they can share their hopes and dreams for our world and future. These letters can be displayed in school, read out in assembly, or shared online to encourage more people to take action. 

If you have photos of your lessons, or letters to tomorrow to share, please do tag @WCC_Schools on Twitter or Warwickshire County Council on Facebook, and we’ll give them a boost on our channels too.  

Other Useful Resources 

Join our free training event on 8 June at 3.45pm which will give you plenty of ideas on how to deliver different primary classes outdoors. Book your place on “Why Teach Inside?” here. 

The latest edition of the Sustainable Warwickshire podcast is all about getting children into nature and the benefits this brings both to them and the environment. It features stories from projects in Leamington and Nuneaton. Search for Sustainable Warwickshire on Spotify or Apple
