PRIMARY school children in Coventry and Nuneaton will be shown how to support wildlife with the launch of a new programme ‘Eco Buddies’.
Orbit Homes has launched the educational programme with the aim to support key stage two students to understand the importance of nature.
Orbit will partner with schools near to their developments to carry out activities that support greater biodiversity within school grounds, as well as demonstrating how students can make a positive impact around their own homes.
Staff from Orbit will deliver sessions on building eco-friendly features such as bug holes, bird boxes and hedgehog homes using recycled materials.
Helen Moore, group director for Orbit Homes, said: “Eco Buddies is a great opportunity to give children in Coventry and Nuneaton an insight into some of the eco-friendly features our teams already install at our developments, how these enhance the environment around us, and what else they can do at home to promote greater biodiversity.
“We look forward to being able to share our knowledge so children can learn how to make their own positive difference to the environment.”
Classroom resources are available for schools to download at orbithomes.org.uk/eco-buddies, including worksheets for lower and upper KS2 pupils.
