This week Room 24 discussed the importance of being future ambassadors for the protection of our environment.
Some students created a pledge to Aotearoa for their future commitment to be guardian's of the land, or show Kaitiakitanga, pledging that they will take on the responsibility to be kaitiaki, or guardians, of the land and protect it for future generations.
When you read some of the student blogs you will notice this theme in their posts.
One of our Reading tasks this week was to read 'The Lorax' by Dr Suess. This story has a strong environmental message that linked our learning with being future ambassadors for protecting Aotearoa.
The students had to read, then create an interview with one of the characters, The Once-ler, whose actions, thoughtlessness and greed destroyed a pristine environment where nature was at it's best. This is also shared on their blogs.
The challenge to be set for the upcoming week, is to consider what impact your decisions have on our environment.
Kia Kaha!
