It supports the learning covered in E&S No. 7 by continuing on with sustainability. 

Physical World No. 8 - This outcome helps students to see how electricity consumption has an effect on our changing climate. This supports learning by tying back to E&S No. 7 by broaching the topic of how humans are impacting the earth. 

Physical World No. 6 - Within this outcome, students are expected to be able to explain energy conservation. This brings up another aspect of climate change and how we can help to combat it's effects. It supports the learning in E&S No. 7 by addressing the very important topic of "what can we do?"

Biological World No. 10 - In this outcome, students will learn to appreciate biodiversity and how it is important to us. Supporting the outcome E&S No. 7 by linking other life forms to our own.

This plan has been edited manually in my folder. It contains all of the topics included but what was covered weekly was reduced greatly as I got to know my first years. ]]> 2019-05-07 21:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/357828406 17188067 https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/357830051 2019-05-07 21:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/357830051 17188067 https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/358370613 I incorporated many key skills into my teaching during my 8 week placement. They're also something I incorporate into my violin classes too. These skills are an integral part to creating a healthy, productive and enjoyable classroom. 
In relation to staying well, I am clear with instructions for students and give plenty of positive feedback. I aim to build confidence and encourage inquiry. 
In many topics covered during the 8 weeks, I made use of group work. Mixing students with their friends and also people they don't necessarily get along with. This brought in key skills such as working with others and communicating.
I felt that the level of literacy and numeracy were not satisfactory, so I conducted research projects on different topics the students found interesting so they would engage with the research. Each group had to model an aspect of their project which brought in key skill being creative. I also emphasised the importance of the maths we needed to do within science. Giving prizes for the students that got the correct answers. This also incorporated the final two key skills of managing myself and managing information and thinking. ]]> 2019-05-09 08:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/358370613 17188067 https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/358382312 A really important part of a class on climate change is to show students that we as individuals can play a role in helping to prevent it getting worse! 
Climate change can seem like a really distant issue and something that we can't solve on our own... This is a great video to show the little things we can do... This exercise is coupled with a worksheet on things we can do to help! ]]> 2019-05-09 09:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/358382312 17188067 https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/358691704 I managed to use this peer review paper while planning for my classes on climate change. 
I used it as an example of how climate change affects more than the human race. 
The way that the tree species were reacting to the reduced level of moisture in the soil allows me to use this paper as an example of how what we are doing to contribute to climate change has effects all across the globe. 
Constantly relating class topics to real life helps students to think laterally. ]]> 2019-05-09 22:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/358691704 17188067 https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/358696638 I used this at the start of each lesson to recap the previous days work and to also branch out into the following classes topic. It helped to get the students thinking about the previous lesson while also helping them to make the connection between the two classes. 
Mind maps were a great way to get students thinking and a good visual aid for them to take down for future study. ]]> 2019-05-09 23:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/358696638 17188067 https://padlet.com/17188067/521s1gnbzn83/wish/358698377 Biodiversity is yet another aspect of our world that is suffering at the hands of climate change.
