For the mandatory Climate Action topic, Riccarton Early Childhood Centre chose, as one of their actions, to learn about electric cars and how they are better for the environment. As the Centre works with very young children their learning had to be age appropriate so they decided to visit a local car garage where the salesman was able to tell them more and they were able to see the cars. They all enjoyed their visit and were able to share their learning with their families later.

As part of their Climate Action topic the children at Hazeldene Family Centre were visited by a local beekeeper. They learnt about the different roles of the bees then opened up their own ‘honey shop’ within the Centre. The children took orders for the beekeeper’s honey and used the commission to adopt a Garden Bumblebee through the Scottish Wildlife Trust.

The Eco-Committee at Wigtown Primary School chose to research World Water Day and the importance of clean water in the world.

To explore the importance of clean water, the children used different materials to filter dirty water and then researched where in the world children don’t have access to clean drinking water. They then presented their findings at a whole school assembly with information about how important water is for our health.

For their Food and Environment topic, Melvich Primary School decided to take part in The Real Bread Campaign’s “Grow a Loaf” project. They grew 3 square metres of wheat in a timber polytunnel in their school grounds, harvested, ground it and made a 400g loaf. It looks amazing and we are sure it tasted fantastic too!

One of St Joseph’s RC Primary School’s aims for their Litter and Waste topic was to reduce the amount of laminating being done in the school. Led by the Eco Group, the children were encouraged to challenge staff on any unnecessary use of the laminator, reminding them at assemblies not to laminate and using the slogan ‘500 years!’ every time they saw a teacher laminating.

The result has been virtually no laminating taking place for displays. A huge success!

What could you do to reduce laminating or other plastic use in your school?

James Aiton Primary School chose to focus on Biodiversity as part of their Green Flag Award application. They held an outdoor classroom day with help from a local countryside ranger, who provided suggestions on how to make best use of the school forest area and improve the environment for wildlife.

Pupils created a variety of bird feeders as well as hibernacula for wildlife. They also observed the life cycle of a butterfly by watching them develop in the classroom before releasing them outdoors.

Pupils at Braehead Primary School chose Health and Well Being as one of their 3 topics.

Lochpots Primary School involved parents and local people in their outdoor week to help them with actions they couldn’t fully achieve on their own. This included the local community van man helping to do bigger jobs and taking away the rubbish to dispose of correctly, the landscape gardeners from Aberdeenshire Council helping to dig out and prepare areas for planting and local businesses donating unwanted items for reuse.

Balmalloch Primary School had a unique idea for gaining ideas when they partnered with a similar school in South Korea with whom they shared their learning around environmental work.

As a result of this the pupils learned about the K-pop band Katseye and how they use their waste free lunch boxes. This inspired the Balmalloch pupils to bring a more eco friendly lunch box.

How about watching this video from the UN’s environment programme looking at the growing problem of single use plastic pollution and thinking about your lunch boxes: https://www.unep.org/interactives/beat-plastic-pollution/

Our friends at the National Association of Environmental Education (NAEE) have launched this wonderful project aimed at inviting children and young people to notice and connect with the natural world through observing and learning about the phases and monthly cycles of the moon. Each lunar month will host a guest Blogger and ideas for classroom activities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The National Association of Environmental Education believes that 'young people have a right to first-hand educational experiences in their local environment, because these are critical in helping people understand the importance of the biosphere to all life on the planet, as well as being a source of wellbeing and fulfilment, and a motivation towards sustainable living.'

There is a growing disconnect between us and the natural world and a failure to recognise its true worth ( Dasgupta 2021) yet we know that taking time to develop and nurture positive connections to nature are vital as a foundation for collective action in the face of our current ecological, large scale threats, and that experiential environmental education provides an antidote to excessive classroom or screen time, and can help to refresh children's attention and cognition ( NAEE 2024).

There has arguably never been a more urgent time to reconnect to the nature on our doorstep, and in the wider world; to pay attention to the real living world, and appreciate how we are a part of it. With all this in mind, NAEE have initiated a Year of Environmental Lunacy and invite you to join in.

What is Environmental Lunacy?

Environmental lunacy is about noticing our natural world more carefully, prompted by the phases and monthly cycles of the moon. It is a way of slowing down and being more aware of how the environment around us changes gradually throughout the year not just during a month, but with each passing month. Observing the moon, understanding the science and geography of its influence and the cultural stories associated with it can inspire awe, wonder and knowledge about the natural world. It is an inclusive way to encourage children and young people to spend less time on screens and more time outdoors investigating the world around them.

Environmental Lunacy blog

Read the first Blog of Environmental Lunacy for the first lunar cycle of 2025. Traditionally, this has been known as the 'Wolf Moon', or the 'Quiet Moon' but how appropriate is that for us today? Each month we will discuss some of the Moon's given names for that lunar month and different writers will make a case for their chosen Moon name, drawing on the significance of the natural world around them at that time.

Share your stories!

We hope you will join in noticing the changing year of nature in closer detail. We invite you to share your suggested Moon names and explain how this reflects nature events where you live. Please tag us in your stories or pictures using the hashtag #EnvironmentalLunacy.

St Mark’s Primary School decided to tackle the problem of food waste by displaying to the whole school all the food that was wasted over the course of a week. They recorded pupils’ reactions to the wastage and followed it up with a whole school assembly and actions that everyone could take to reduce the amount of waste.

Check out our Food and the Environment Topic for resources to support this Topic: https://www.keepscotlandbeautiful.org/eco-schools/topics/food-and-the-environment/

Measuring the effect of your actions doesn’t have to be complicated. Fordbank Primary School used straightforward counting and photographs to measure the effect of their work to encourage more people to cycle/scoot to school. To measure the impact of their actions they counted the number of bikes that were in the bike shed on a regular basis (taking photos as a record) and measured a drastic increase from one or two bicycles before the actions to between 10 and 15 every day afterwards.
