KS2

The storybook Wiz’s Wonderful Web was written by John Baines in association with WTA staff, telling the story of what happened to Emma when she dropped an empty drink can in the playground at school. It is the starting point for the Teacher and Support Materials. These can be downloaded by clicking on the links here:

WTA staff wrote and produced the set of KS4 materials, to aid the involvement of young people in the creation of waste action plans.
