The Compost Curriculum

Although created for schools in Devon, much of the information is relevant to schools everywhere. Check out the website: https://zone.recycledevon.org/ for more information.
It doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner, or a seasoned rotter; whether you have a ‘state of the art’ food waste composter, or a neglected plastic ‘Dalek’ in the corner of the playground.
This handbook supports teachers to use composting as an inspiring teaching resource throughout the school year. For each month it contains a curriculum-linked KS2 lesson plan and an Eco Team activity, plus a wealth of supporting documents to bring composting to life for adults and pupils.
