Year 5 Unit 5 - Protecting Our Environment (Wider World)

Our progressive curriculum builds sequentially year-on-year, culminating in the Year 5 Protecting Our Environment unit, which deepens students’ understanding of environmental issues and climate change. Students will explore key concepts such as the causes of climate change, the importance of sustainable living, and actions we can take to protect the planet. They will also learn about the role of democracy in addressing environmental challenges, examining ways individuals can influence government policies on climate change and environmental protection.

Each lesson is fully editable and compliant with DfE and PSHE Association guidelines, ensuring ease of integration into your chosen curriculum. This bundle offers flexibility for educators, providing the option to select individual lessons or mini-units rather than committing to a full scheme.
