Hello, I'm an English teacher, teaching for more than 20 years to children from 6-12 years old. I'm working in a public school in Catalonia, Spain. I've been collaborating with Education department in Catalonia as a teacher educator in methodology: @ttmethodology18. My school and I are very excited to be part of this worldwide project and to make our students be aware of the importance of taking care of our planet. There is no planet B. We are the future and we can t

What is climate change?

Project: 5th grade." How can we make a better planet?"

Our students and I have made a brainstorming of ideas, to see what they all knew about climate change. We first introduced some climate vocabulary, in order to start getting familiar to it. Using jamboard we started adding notes, and from all the children's notes we were able to make a definition for what was climate change. On the other hand, we also watched a video about what climate change was all about.

You can see the video we have previously been watching.

What is causing climate change in our city?

We have concluded all together walking around our school there are many issues causing climate change: People go by car instead of walking to school or by bike. There is a lot of CO2 from the nearby factories. We have seen deforestation in our forests. Many buildings built every year.

Week 5 28608

All together we have written on the jamboard the real solutions we could really carry out:

1- Clean the park near our school

2-Go by foot or bike to school instead of using the car

3-Reuse paper

4-Recycle

5-Don't use plastic or aluminium paper for our breakfast: use a lunchbox instead.

6-Make posters about climate change and hang them all over our school

Take action!

We are taking action. Soon we will plant a big tree in our school and perhaps some flowers too! We will also clean the park and send a message to all our families by doing posters where it says how you can make a better planet!
