It’s A Wonderful World Class B have been learning about endangered species. We’ve been reading current scientific literature and watching news clips about endangered species. We’ve taken a special interest in Giant Pandas and have been studying these animals this week.

Humans and animals are both important so it’s hard to explain. If they didn’t chop down the forest the humans might not have anywhere to live. Maybe the humans could find somewhere else to live. Aiden

Endangered mean the animals are losing their homes not getting any food and they would be all extinct if they keep dying. Cameron

People are cutting down trees in forests; some animals like pandas need trees to be sheltered. Callum

China needs to cut down trees so they can build new houses. It’s not fair because the pandas can’t get any food like bamboo. If pandas become extinct there would be none left absolutely none. Some people kill pandas to get their fur and also make rugs out of them. It’s not a nice thing to do because pandas are really cute and it’s not nice to kill animals. Cody

Some Pandas lived in the zoo and some pandas live in the forest. Tian Tian and Yang Guang live in Edinburgh Zoo. Liam

Writing

This week, we are using our knowledge of Giant Pandas to write reports about these endangered animals. We want to share our reports with Class O, so that other people can learn about Giant Pandas, why they endangered and what is being done to help.

We had lots of fun in the sensory room learning more about Giant Pandas and creating a wonderful shared writing plan.

We’ve been working hard to include important features of report writing.

A title and a factual first sentence is important so the reader will know what it’s going to be about. Aiden

A report is like non-fiction because it has true facts and information. Cody

We were all star writers this week!
