Huia Home Learning - Term 3

Unit tasks:

Either:

Organise a campaign at home to reduce your carbon footprint, or to make better lifestyle choices. e.g. get people to take shorter showers, walk or cycle rather than drive, recycle, eat healthy, unpackaged snack food, turn off appliances … It could be just targeted just at yourself, or any other family members.

The article, ‘Think local, act global’, may help to give you ideas. It can be found on the school website under Our Teams/Huia/Home Learning, or you can collect a paper copy from the class home learning box.

· First, assess what your family are doing well at present, and identify things that could be improved. You are more likely to get people to co-operate if you do this together.

· Write down your goal – what you hope to achieve

· Plan your strategies – how you will involve, educate, persuade other family members to either take part or to support you, e.g. gather and share information, display notes/reminders/posters, keep checklists, etc.  Again, involve other family members so you agree on the best strategies.

· Keep a log of your progress. Be prepared to change your goals and strategies if necessary.

· Evaluate – how successful it was, what was difficult, what you achieved.

Due date: 17 September
