From the Mouths of Babes…

Snippets from Year 5 student’s research from Fionn’s school…these are 10 year olds…I cannot wait until they are in charge, won’t be a moment too soon…

“I have been learning about Amazon Rainforest deforestation.

Did you know that Amazon Rainforest

deforestation is mostly caused by people building

cattle ranches?”

“I have been learning about endangered species. Did

you know that over 800 species have died because of

the lack of water and food?”

“I have been learning about Endangered Species for my project. I

have learnt about the different types of Endangered Species and

how to help!”

“I have been learning about Sewage and Toxic Waste. Did you know

that it is practically raw sewage mixed with toxic waste that is being

dumped into beaches like Bondi and Manly?”

“I have been learning about recycling and the environment. I learnt

that in the U.S.A, there has been over 1.7 billion stirophone cups

thrown out onto the streets and that, if global warming continues at

this rate, by 2100 it will be 100 times worse.”
