School Project Packages and Inset
Although much of MEEN's work is organised around specific, fully funded projects we can also deliver a range of sessions to schools for a charge. Below is a list of some of what we have on offer although we are happy to devise sessions to fit your needs such as for Science Day or Earth Day.
MEEN Green Days
We can run Green Days or Eco Days with a variety of activities for different year groups and key stages, exploring curriculum relevant issues, from running a Bio Blitz for Year 4, a Climate Change session for Year 6, and putting on one of our assemblies with a KS1 class. (£175)
Living Sustainably Assembly
This assembly teaches basic principles about what we use and how our actions impact the world. Working with a KS1 class for an hour before the assembly they help deliver the session to their peers, acting as trees, birds, miners and windmills to re-imagine a sustainable world. This morning or afternoon session is available for £75.
Working for Wildlife Assembly
This assembly focuses on the problems local wildlife face in a world dominated by humans. Working with a KS1 class for an hour before the assembly the pupils help illustrate the story of Higgledy Hedgehog as she tries to source a tasty lunch. She meets with new roads, fencing and farming issues before everyone re-imagines a world more helpful to wildlife. This morning or afternoon session is available for £75.
Climate Change
All packages are bespoke and adaptable to your school and your KS needs.Offers include:
- Interactive facilitation to inspire an understanding of Climate Change available for all Key Stages. (1 hr session £30)
- A whole school Climate Change project which, depending on the choices pupils make, can include peer learning; assemblies; pupils teaching their families; Eco Club sessions; developing Climate Change as a Transition project, etc. (8 sessions totals £240)
Let's Get Wild
All packages are bespoke to help school communities learn outside, and include:
- Setting up an after-school Eco Club to run exciting nature based sessions or to implement a project in the school grounds, such as a wild garden or Forest Garden. (£30 per session)
- Create a themed outdoor family learning day in the school grounds or the local environment inspired by curriculum materials or books such as The Lorax, or Stig of the Dump, etc. (Cost dependent on hours.)
