Eden Learning
Sandylands Eden Learning is inspired by the Morecambe Bay Curriculum which was set up in 2020 in collaboration with Eden Project North, Lancaster University and Lancaster and Morecambe college.
The Morecambe Bay Curriculum focuses on the health and wellbeing of the ecosystem, and opportunities for future sustainable living, learning and working. It taps into the learning potential of the landscape and life around Morecambe. It is a unique place-based green curriculum for children and young people to learn how to look after themselves, their area and their planet.
This dovetails perfectly with our Sandylands Golden threads which run through all of our ‘Sandylands way’ curriculum.
Below are some examples of what the children have been up to recently.
