Thema/Context 

For the next three weeks in class, we will be learning about Climate Change. Learning about Greta Thunberg, climate change, deforestation, endangered animals and most importantly what we can do to help. Below are a list of tasks your child can complete at home that is linked to what we had been learning about in class!

1. In class we have been reading 'Greta and the Giants', if you would like to hear the story again click this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCmjBhGhUpg 
   1. Write a book review of 'Greta and the Giants', you could use this template. 
   2. Turn the book into a comic strip - remember comics have lots of pictures with very little writing!
   3. Imagine the book is being turned into a film, design a 'coming soon' poster advertising the film. 
2. Do some research! Use the internet, read books and newspapers to learn a bit more about climate change. Once you have researched you can create a poster, leaflet, presentation or video explaining what you have learnt and hopefully you can teach others!
3. There are lots of lovely activities, articles, stories and information on the WWF website, take a look at what you  can do to combat climate change! https://www.wwf.org.uk/get-involved/schools/resources/climate-change-resources
