Amazon Rainforest Wildfires

We saw the Amazon Rainforest wildfires on the T.V. news last week so this week we have been reading articles and watching videos about them. It also tied in with our expositions (persuasive writing) on climate change. 
.

We were shocked at how many fires there have been this year and wondered about the effects they are having on the wildlife and tribespeople who live in the rainforest. 
As part of our Reading task, we created google drawings highlighting the effects of the fires. We thought carefully about the message we wanted to convey. You can view these on our individual blogs which will be published in the next few days.

  1. Hi Room 1, the fires are so heartbreaking, the Amazon is so important to the whole world! We look forward to seeing your google drawings. Are you planning on sharing your persuasive writing as well?

    1. Bula Tui Class,
      Yes, but they are taking quite a long time to write because we have found so much information. We will finish these next week and put them on our blogs.
