Resource Pack

This resource pack is intended to be used by teachers / parents as a guide alongside all sections of the programme to help the problems solvers in their quest!

Selections of the following topics are chosen by teachers/pupils:

Water                  Food               Waste 
Energy                Shelter            Biodiversity

There is one pull out 'page' per topic, plus one for each of the in-school pre- and post- trip sessions. The mapping exercise is described on a separate sheet. Other sections explain fully the curriculum links (in addition to a brief summary on each topic sheet), risk assessment and guidance on planning for the trip (the latter is completed jointly with a HHP member prior to the trip).

Having identified during the in-school session that in our lives we have 'Needs' and 'Wants', and that these often create environmental 'Problems', it becomes necessary for the problem solvers to find 'Solutions'. Some of which may be found at the Hockerton Housing Project.

Each topic page details the activities available, along with their learning points and curriculum links. It also highlights 'solutions' providing the problem-solvers with actions they might be able to try at home. A brief introduction to the global relevance of each topic is included for those who may need some background information to the topics. Leads are also given for further information or involvement such as website addresses, organisations to contact and reading suggestions.

A complementary copy of the Resource Pack will be provided to schools planning a visit to us.
