Welcome to the Waste Education in Early Learning Teacher Pack. This resource has been developed to support educators in Wyndham to develop waste conscious behaviours from the very beginning of a child’s learning journey.
Through play-based activities and hands-on learning this pack contains two modules to introduce the concepts of waste, recycling, and composting. Each module comprises of one video and follow up activities and ideas to reinforce this messaging and continue education on these themes.
The below videos have been created with children’s entertainer Charlie Sillypants as the first step for each module.
