Welcome Back
Welcome back! My name is Miss Pridmore-Johnston and I am
currently teaching this year’s year five class. This blog will focus upon
Sustainability and how this can be addressed within the classroom.
The focus of the topic is to explore the ways natural and human resources are used to support the growing human population and how this can affect future generations. This can be done through the use of evaluating evidence to draw conclusions. Such evidence can include charts of the consumption of natural items, the growth of human resources, etc.
There are many activities
that can support the learning of sustainability.
Students can learn to create a home-garden,
Students could start a compost bin at home,
or Teacher could organise a recycling bin in the classroom, or a reward chart for recycle a few items each day. The teacher could start the topic through classroom discussions, start the garden as a science project, or involve think-pair-share activities. Students can also learn that the environment requires priority and promotes the learning of sustainability.
With human resources, teachers can talk about growth in house construction, population growth, etc.
Parents and guardians can become involved in the learning process by supporting sustainability projects. Parents and guardians can do small projects like rewarding recycling, or start home-gardening or a compost bin. Encouraging walking to work and school, or taking buses can also support this. This could encourage students to follow the parents’ and guardians’ lead in producing more sustainable living.

Sustainability is described as the process of meeting the
present society’s needs whilst still being able to provide for future
generations’ needs. This is done through the use of the environment. This generation has the capacity to change and alter the use of natural
and human resources to produce sustainability around the world, without
compromising the needs of future generations. Sustainability has a focus in the areas of society,
economics and environment as well as the capacity to produce of a better
quality of life. Furthermore, the Melbourne
Declaration of Education Goals for Young Australians also emphasises the need
for education on sustainability to be promoted and taught throughout the
schooling years.
