Green Up Your Act provides dynamic primary school workshops bringing a wide range of environmental themes to life.
Workshops explore topics spanning: growing seasonal food to promote health and wellbeing, food miles, reducing waste, reuse, repair and recycling, air and water pollution, single use plastic in our rivers and oceans, urban biodiversity, habitat restoration, and renewable energy. Themes are explored in relation to our everyday lives, creating meaningful connections which leave pupils feeling emotionally positive about making lasting change.
Primary workshops are cross-curricular and tailored to suit groups from EYFS to Key Stage 1 & 2. Each workshop links to the national curriculum and is completed by making a unique eco craft item or growing activity to enable pupils to consolidate their learning. Workshops are available as half day or full day.

Small steps can add up to big changes. So let’s all learn to reduce our ecological footprint and help maximise our earth’s precious resources.

Investigating the power we all have to make small changes to support a healthier planet, pupils transform an everyday item into a durable new object they can use.

With plastic a part of our daily lives, this workshop explores alternatives to single use plastics and how we can all play a part in supporting a thriving ocean and river ecosystem.

The workshop starts by listening to the sounds of the rainforest. We quickly discover that rainforests are one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet.

One of the first subjects pupils mention when it comes to environmental topics is the issue of litter. This workshop explores how we can all play a part in supporting a beautiful and healthy natural environment by encouraging reuse and recycling of everyday materials.

This workshop enables pupils to investigate a range of materials, their properties and uses.

The autumn and spring will bring plenty of sunlight to produce fantastic early crops for your pupils to feel proud of and enjoy.

This activity looks the important role of gardening and planting with wildlife in mind, and how by creating biodiverse spaces, bugs and bees are able to flourish.

Trees play a huge role in storing carbon from the atmosphere. This is vital in the fight against climate change.

Plastic has become a part of our daily lives and everywhere you look you can probably see plastic of some sort. This workshop raises awareness of the part we can play in opting for alternatives to single use plastics.

Birds use a lot of energy to maintain a constant body temperature which means they are always on the look out for energy rich foods.
