A level
On each page, a table of relevant curriculum statements with links to activities on this web site is taken from:
- Programmes of Study of specific subjects in the National Curriculum for Wales
- Personal and Social Education. The National Assembly for Wales recognises the role of PSE in ‘empowering pupils to be active, informed, responsible citizens…committed to… the challenges of being a citizen of Wales.’
In addition to this mandatory curriculum the tables also show how ’Climate Change in Wales’ can address the cross-curricular themes of:
- Curriculum Cymreig
Curriculum Cymreig which ‘helps pupils to understand and celebrate the distinctive quality of living and learning in Wales in the twenty-first century, to identify their own sense of Welshness and to feel a heightened sense of belonging to their local community and country. It also helps to foster in pupils an understanding of an outward-looking and international Wales, promoting global citizenship and concern for sustainable development.’
- Education for Sustainable Development
Education for Sustainable Development which ‘enables people to develop the knowledge, values and skills to participate in decisions about the way we do things individually and collectively, both locally and globally, that will improve the quality of life now without damaging the planet for the future.’
- Key Skills
Key Skills of Communication, Application of Number, IT, Problem Solving, Improving own Learning and Performance, Working with Others. Use of the site will improve IT skills. There is wide scope for the development of the other Key Skills depending on the way the site is used. Thus identification of individual Key Skills is not itemised.
