Every year, we monitor the impact of the campaign and each year this grows, bringing the benefits of more and better outdoor learning and play to larger numbers of pupils. As was highlighted in the campaign's recently published Muddy Hands report, 32% of teachers told us they have increased outdoor play since registering for Outdoor Classroom Day and 44% have increased outdoor learning.

Time outdoors at school improves children's health, supports engagement in learning and leads to a greater connection with nature. Play not only teaches critical life skills such as resilience, teamwork and creativity, but is central to children's enjoyment of childhood.

You can find out more about Outdoor Classroom Day, and register to take part or support our goals, on our campaign website.

3.  I will encourage those around me to learn more about what causes climate change.

4.  I will support my school’s pupil group which helps consider how the school can be more eco-friendly.

5.  I will try new local foods, which help to stop climate change, when they are offered to me in school and at home.

6.  I will teach the people I know about how the types of foods they are eating can impact the planet.

Climate Change Quiz

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A

the changes in the Earth's climates and weather patterns🌍📈

the difference between animals and plants in a certain place 🌱🐯

an agreement signed by countries around the world 🌐📝

'Climate change' is the impact on the world's climates (the pattern of weather over a long period of time).

This is because of and has been accelerated by 'global warming' which is the increase of the Earth's average temperatures due to human activites which release 'greenhouse gases' (such as CO ₂).

Which of these human activities is a main cause of climate change?

In fact, it is all of the above.

Each of these human activities release a greenhouse gas which warms up the
Earth's atmosphere (a layer of gases surrounding the Earth) which contributes to climate change.

10% - 15%
- 1 in 10 species at risk

15% - 20%
- at least 1 in 6 species at risk

How many animal species are at threat of extinction if the Earth's temperature passed 1.5°C?

Because of climate change, 1 in 6 species are at risk of dying from extinction.

Due to rising temperatures around the world, species are not able to adapt fast enough to their ever-changing environment and due to deforestation (the practice of cutting down trees) habitats are becoming more fragile which is making it harder for animals to live in their environment.

Can anyone name 3 types of renewable energy?

Some types of renewable energy include:

- Wind power
➜ (Fun Fact! On-land wind delivers 70% of Scotland's renewable energy.)

- Solar power
➜ (Fun fact! In 2015, solar power provided 0.2% of Scotland's energy, but is prediticed to provide at least 7% in 2050.)

- Hydroelectric power
➜ (Fun fact! Scotland holds 85% of the UK's entire hydroelectric energy resource.)

Can anyone name ways to be more eco-friendly?

Some ways you can be more eco-friendly are:
➜ Switching your devices (e.g. TVs, tablets, game consoles etc) off to save energy.
➜ Also, turning off lights in empty rooms to save more energy at home.

➜ Reducing, reusing and recycling different materials (e.g. plastic, cardboard, glass etc) to help reduce the amount of waste.

➜ Eating less meat in favour of more fruit and vegetables.
➜ Walking, cycling, scootering or car-sharing whilst travelling to school.
➜ You can also write to your own local MSP or councillor to demand better climate action!

CONGRATULATIONS!

You are all true eco-warriors!

A Pocket Garden is a miniature garden that uses edible plants, plants that attract wildlife, and that reuses something which would otherwise have been thrown away.

Each year, we invite young people from schools across Scotland to send in their designs for a colourful and exciting environmentally friendly, pocket-sized garden. Pupils who send in the winning designs are then invited to build and grow their gardens to display.

Many of us have recently discovered joyful and practical learning through growing plants and connecting with our communities. The 2023 One Planet Picnic Pocket Garden Design Competition builds on this, linking garden design, sustainability and celebration. You can find out more about this years' competition by downloading the Pocket Garden 2023 brochure.

Previously, Pocket Gardens have been displayed at Gardening Scotland in Edinburgh, where they have been visited by the BBC Beechgrove Garden team, the Scottish Government Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform and the Lord Provost of Edinburgh.

Who can apply?

If you are a primary school in the UK, you can order one of our free fruit tree packs containing:

All our fruit trees are grown in the UK and will be dispatched between the 6th and 17th March 2023 ready for you to plant and will come with full planting instructions.

There will be a mix of apple and pear varieties:

Apple - Ellison's Orange, Laxton's Fortune, James Grieve, Worcester Pearmain, Greensleeves, Lord Lambourne, Sunset, Egremont Russet, Champion, Cox's Orange Pippin , Fiesta, Pixie, Laxton's Superb, Gala.

Pear varieties; Williams' Bon Chrétien*, Beurré Hardy, Concorde*, Conference*

Every pack will be supplied with full planting instructions and TCV will also provide ongoing tips, and advice to ensure your trees stay as healthy as possible

Learning activity to stimulate classroom discussion - the fruit growing cycle

Further environmental learning around bees and pollination

Health & cooking - why fruit is good for us and appropriate recipes

Is this for your school?

We hope From the Ground Up will give many children a real opportunity to connect with nature, creating positive lifelong memories after a time when the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted the life of every child in the country, with many still adjusting to a return to school.

From the Ground Up will engage and educate children in a natural outdoor classroom, by planting and nurturing their own trees 'from the ground upwards'. They will see in real time the growing cycle - learning fruit does not actually come from a supermarket.

Children will be able to experience the sights, scents, sounds, and textures of the outdoors which every child needs to thrive. Your fruit trees can provide countless opportunities for discovery, creativity, problem-solving, and STEM education, interacting with the natural environment and by learning by doing.

Environmental and educational benefits

At TCV we would love to see more trees in schools as they provide a multitude of environmental and educational benefits, both short and long term. As well as being attractive aesthetically, they remove and store carbon from the atmosphere, enhance air quality and provide shade - all of which are beneficial for children, the environment, and wildlife.

From the Ground Up will leave a legacy for the next 50 years in schools across the UK and future generations will be able to get planting, nurturing, harvesting, and learning.

If we lose our connection with nature, then we lose ourselves. I think, in this day and age, it is so easy to become totally divorced from the natural world. This connection is one of the greatest treasures you can have. And if you lose it, you've lost a really important part of your life...

Sir David Attenborough, Vice President TCV

Have your say on the TEDx red carpet "The Future we Choose"

Have your say on the TEDx red carpet "The Future we Choose"

# data[].attributes.body
Clean energy solutions, sustainable food choices, recycling clothing, wearing clothes to last, walk and cycle more, reuse items for other purposes... there's so many ways you can help tackle this climate crisis.

You have 60 seconds to stand on the red carpet and give your own TEDx talk 🎥🎞

TEDx talks with children:

Ask children to share their 'big idea worth doing' in a TEDx style:

- what's the idea?

Is it an action, a way of thinking differently, a product or app...?

- who/what will it help & how

Is it for people, animals, gardens, food? Who could use it?

- give an inspiring feeling

Why do you care? Does something or someone inspire you?

Example:

My name is Annie and I am inspired by the way counties in Africa have stopped using plastic bags.

My big idea is to design a simple clip for reusable bags I already have to attach to my school bag so I don't forget to take them when I go shopping.

It'll mean less new bags get used and less end up on the ocean. I'm excited about a future that has less plastic and no more plastic bags being used.

Tips:

Keep it 60 seconds long

Record on mobile

Uploaded to school Twitter and tag @TEDxGlasgow on twitter as well as school/ person

Use the title of the talk on twitter post

Use mic or Bluetooth mic/earphones for good audio

Pictures are welcome of people doing it

TEDxGlasgow will review the videos and select anyone who inspires them!
