Today we learned about Endangered Animals in other parts of the world. We discussed Climate change and global warming and the effects on wildlife.
We then discussed ways of caring for our environment. The children suggested planting more trees, recycling, using electric cars, buses, planes, using solar panels, wind turbines, stopping over fishing and reduce emissions by walking instead of travelling by car.
