@Megan48699918 Such a great way for schools to reduce their food waste, and get kids involved in making a difference! Hands-on, innovative and provides great opportunities for cross-curriculum links. When kids apply their learning in real-life situations, we see the shift in learning!
English
@darcielarkin Compost! Love it 😍 This would definitely be useful in school food gardens 🌱 and would also link to both science and geography through its reduction of greenhouse emissions. #SDG3
English
Att. Teachers! Thinking of starting up a compost in your school to help reduce #foodwaste & our greenhouse emissions? Here's a step by step guide that includes the benefits of compost as well as tips & pointers to help you get started #UoNTeach #educ4750

@jj47985290 Yes, @jj47985290 I thought so too! I was thinking it could be a great way to introduce a lesson or unit as well, as it provides many links to different KLA's (as you've provided) and is engaging for students!
English
@darcielarkin Great book @darcielarkin! Having a look through this there is also a lot of opportunities to use this book in #sustainabilty cross curricular content, especially in the KLA’s English and Creative Arts. #uonteach #EDUC4750

Ezekiel Kwaymullina and Sally Morgan's children's book 'My Country' is an amazing reminder of the connection Indigenous Australians have to their country and land. A sense of wellbeing & belonging shines through and is a great health & wellbeing resource #UoNTeach #educ4750 #SDG3

@Megan48699918 I love this idea @Megan48699918 - I have to admit to I originally didn't even think of it. Thanks for the suggestion! Such a great educational opportunity while also contributing to the beautiful colours and variety in the garden 🌱
English
@darcielarkin It would be really cool as well to include local Aboriginal Bush Tucker plants! This would allow for further inclusion of Aboriginal culture within the school setting!
English
How great is it to see UON modeling great sustainability! Especially love seeing younger ones being involved, expanding their knowledge and understanding of the benefits community gardens have both environmentally and socially. How can we see more of this?! #UoNTeach #Educ4750
University of Newcastle@Uni_Newcastle
Great to see this group of green thumbs giving our Callaghan community garden some love today! We planted apple, pear and citrus trees and some leafy greens. 🍎🍐🍊🥬

@OzHarvestEdu Thanks, @OzHarvest! Looks like such a great program filled with nifty resources to use in the classroom. I especially love the free at home hands-on activities you have for parents and carers. Great way to get them involved 👌
English
@darcielarkin Thanks for sharing Darcie! Have a look at our primary school program FEAST, engaging student to eat healthy, waste less food and become change-makers!

@Megan48699918 It also can be hard for non-indigenous teachers to deliver culturally sensitive content. This is why most of them avoid it! A perfect way to counteract this is to have guest speakers, incursions, etc from people who have permission from elders to do so.
English
@darcielarkin So culturally relevant and inclusive to all students especially, our Indigenous students as we are ensuring that they are culturally supported in the classroom. It also educates non-Indigenous people to have a cultural perspective when learning about the world around them.
English
David King, a Gundungurra Aboriginal Elder talks about First Nation Peoples sustainable practices, focusing on food wastage. The concept that 'nothing is to be wasted, there is a purpose for it' is an important lesson for our future citizens to learn! soundcloud.com/sei_sydney/ind…
English
@HoskingMiss I also love a good video clip! When students have a visual to go along with content, they are so much more engaged and can connect with the information they are receiving. It helps drive home the message!
English
@darcielarkin Totally!! Teaching young children at an early age about the importance of living sustainably is vital! Educators need to promote healthy eating and the benefits of reducing waste, for a sustainable future.
English
This is why we need to educate our children on the importance of eating healthy, reducing our #foodwaste & #livingsustainably! 30% of school waste is organic & can be easily composted. This reduces waste going into landfills & creating harmful methane gas! #UoNTeach #educ4750
Love Food Hate Waste@LFHW_UK
Wasting food feeds climate change 🌍 If everyone in the UK stopped throwing away food for one day, it’d do the same for climate change as taking 14,000 cars off the road for a whole year 😲🚗 bit.ly/FWAWPlanet #FoodWasteActionWeek
English
@HoskingMiss I also like how #STEM projects promote students to use their higher-order thinking skills along with engaging problem solving, critical and creative thinking 🤯 It is so multifaceted!
English
@darcielarkin How good is this! I think introducing strategies for young children on how to manage food waste is vital for a sustainable future. I really like seeing projects like this that schools can implement to help promote sustainable living for young students.
English
FEAST is a #STEM project-based learning program for stage 3 students educating them on food waste! Hands-on, fun, engaging, and best of all filled with good, fresh FOOD! A sustainable look at eating healthy & creating student changemakers in local communities! #UoNTeach #educ4750

@BenjaminMaytom @aiden_dennis Also making the students such a central focus in directing the change! Though making it engaging for kids, it adds so much more value to their learning and also helps set up lifelong healthy habits for them.
English
@ReardonBrittany Such an easy and inclusive way to get the whole family involved in physical activity! When students are able to apply their learning from school within their community it makes it so much more authentic and meaningful. #SDG3
English
Live Life Well @ School - This program is a fantastic way to get kids active whilst making positive changes to the school community! Check out how Corindi Public School implemented it in their school. #SDG3 #Educ4750 #UoNTeach

@HoskingMiss @Change4Life @Disney I think it’s great to have a break from learning - we all need it! Not only does it help your #Mentalhealth but it’s also engaging and fun for the kids! It would also be a great way to start a lesson if you could align it to the content! How exciting, such a good idea. #SDG3
English
@Change4Life and @Disney have teamed up offering play-along games inspired by young kids favourite Disney and Pixar characters. Fantastic for #educators to use in-between lessons, which is not just great to get students moving, yet also to improve their #mentalhealth! #UoNteach
Better Health Families@BH_Families
Keeping active is not only good for your physical health, it can also improve your mood and mental health. Play one of our 10 Minute Shake Up activities together with your family this weekend. The kids will love it! nhs.uk/10-minute-shak…

@Tayla56715090 I feel like we all could benefit from this after Easter break 🍫! Smoothies are such a great way for students to enjoy their fruits (and veges for the adventurous). Educating kids about #healthyeating is such an important part to developing positive life long habits ! #SDG3
English
A well-balanced diet is an important component of #goodhealthandwellbeing. Here's Oberon High demonstrating a great way to get back into healthy eating after the Easter break and lots of chocolate indulgence
What would you put in your smoothie? #educ4750 #UoNTeach #SDG3
NSW Dept of Education@NSWEducation
Too many chocolate treats over the Easter break? 🍫🐇 Why not follow Oberon High School's good example and blend up a healthy and delicious smoothie? #LoveWhereYouLearn
English
@Benjami49687352 I agree @Benjami49687352 ! Incursions and guest speakers would be how we can achieve this. People speaking to students that are straight from the source, telling them the #facts about #responsibleconsumption 💧
English
@Benjami49687352 @Feedbackorganic I didn’t know that stat for Newcastle! That’s a lot of food wastage. Having a #schoolcompost would be also such an amazing way to reduce #foodwaste from the canteen too, not just students lunches. So many benefits 😍 #SDG3
English
@darcielarkin @Feedbackorganic What a great initiative! Did you know that in Newcastle we throw away an average of 2.6kg of food waste per household per week? Teaching kids the value of composting creates responsible citizens of tomorrow!
English
Another PS doing their part for the environment! St Therese in partnership with @Feedbackorganic #FoodCycle are turning their food waste into compost. Creating a sense of responsibility & community, while easily embedded into the curriculum! #UoNTeach mnnews.today/catholic-schoo…
English
Another PS doing their part to make a difference! Teaching students the importance of giving back to the community, & providing for those who need it most is such a valuable lesson. Next goal? Fresh produce grown by the students themselves donated @OzHarvest? #UoNTeach #educ4750
KENSINGTON PS@KENSINGTONPS
Yesterday our donation of cans from Harmony Day was picked up by @OzHarvest. It was great for some of the students to learn where this food will now go and to know they have helped to make a difference in the lives of others. @OzHarvestEdu #GivingBack #HarmonyWeek
English
@HoskingMiss Not only does being active improve mental and physical health, but also creates more on-task behaviour in classrooms, and higher academic achievement! Being physically active is such an important part of children's lives 🏃♂️🏃♀️
English
I agree! #PhysicaActivity is vital for good #mentalhealth and #wellbeing. Educators MUST promote the importance of being active for both short-term and long-term health to their students. So get started today with getting your students moving their bodies!!!
