You could win £2,000 for your school to spend on an environmental project. Simply download the educational resource pack and encourage your students to take part!

We have put together a set of lesson plans, including an assembly idea, to introduce your class to the concept of ‘renewability’ and related environmental issues.

The topics inform wider issues around sustainability which are a key part of the national curriculum at Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3.

The pack features 5 lesson plans, covering the following:

Also included is a competition task sheet - pupils can enter the ‘Design an Image’ competition by completing the sheet (drawing an image which represents their interpretation of ‘renewability’ and filling in their details). Collect up your class’s ideas and send these to us (see below) for the chance to win £2,000 for your school. The winning student will also win £100.

We have also supplied a number of themed ‘fun-time fillers’; five to ten minute activities including word searches, cross words and other puzzles, all which reinforce environmental key messages.

This is how the competition will work:
1. Once your students have completed the task sheet, collect up the designs, making sure that each child’s details (name, age, address, contact email address and parental signature) have been included. Make sure you’ve included your schools details (name of school, address, nominated teacher and contact email address) and then send entries through to the Renewable Idea team, either:

a. By post, to this address: FAO The Renewable Team, Fishburn Hedges, 77 Kingsway, Holborn, London, WC2B 6SR
b. By email
c. Or, by scanning and uploading them here

Closing date for entries is 23 January 2012.

Please note - if you’ve set the competition as a homework task parents can send the forms directly to us (using any of the entry routes listed above), but they must make sure the school’s details are included so your school can be in with the chance of winning the £2,000 prize.

2. In December, Tetra Pak and WWF-UK will shortlist 3 entries from each region and put them up on the website for the public to vote on their favourites. The design with the highest number of votes will go through to the final judging day.

3. The judging day will be held in 5 March 2012, and the winning entrant will receive £100 and could win £2,000 for their school to spend on an environmental project. The winning image will then be used by Tetra Pak and WWF in future campaign activity – on badges, stickers, leaflets, posters and maybe more!

If you have any students who would like to take part, but who fall outside of the 7-14 age bracket (up to the age of 18), you can also submit their designs to us on a task sheet. Again make sure their details have been included on the form, and send the entries through as above. They / their parents can also send through their designs to us directly. Children outside the 7-14 age bracket will be considered for special commendation however will not be eligible to win the main prize.
