Currently
the
GVI
Environmental
Education,
Health
and
Citizenship
lessons
are
delivered
in
collaboration
with

Music
and
Art
lessons.
The
PEMAC
lessons
provide
a
platform
for
the
students
to
explore
creativity
and
participate
in
physical
activity.
Alongside
the
PEMAC
activities
the
lessons
also
target
key
topics
from
the
school
syllabus
to
consolidate
the
childrens
existing
classroom
learning
in
science,
geography
and
social
education
subjects.
In
this

the

are
explored
holistically
and
with
special
attention
to
specific

that
the

need
to
master
in
English.
A

of
10
lessons

and
teaching
packs
have
been
created
that
contain
the
relevant
lesson
plans
and
resources
required
enabling
teachers
to
easily
deliver
learning
outcomes.
These
lessons
aim
to
focus
on
the
knowledge
and
behaviours
associated
with
caring
for
the
environment
and
incorporate
a
variety
of
different
learning
styles.
Children
are
given
the
opportunity
to
become
researchers
in
their
own
environment
by
testing
materials
to
identifying
man-made
versus
natural,
assessing
litter
levels
in
the
school
compound,
making
a
working
water
cycle
and
creating
their

are
supported
by
worksheets
that
reinforce
key
learning
outcomes
and
allow
children
to
practice
and
test
knowledge.
