Global warming - how you can make a difference

Some of our students have been looking at global warming as part of their student-led inquiry. They wanted to share their learning via this poster with you so we can all be more aware about how global warming will affect us.

Thanks Oscar and Henry

STEPS TO REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING

Ways we can help to stop global warming are to:

Bike

Plant more trees

Walk or drive electric cars

Saving engage around the house

Switching to compacted and fluorescent light bulbs

Reduce reuse and recycle

Use less hot water

Turn off electric devices when not in use and spread awareness.

Global warming notes/research.

• Global warming at the current predicted rates will dive 15 to 37%  of living species toward extinction by mid-century.
• The thicker layer of greenhouse gases traps more heat. This results in an increase in average temperature of the earth and the earth becomes hotter and hotter. This is called global warming.
• If we don’t take steps to reduce global warming, it will to loss of humans like, plants and animals

An ancient game

Gladiators had fights between criminals or animals or other gladiators. Fights took place in arenas like the Colosseum in Rome, which could hold 50,000 people. That’s 15,000 more than the Wellington stadium!



Gladiators had battles with many different animals, often as warm up games before main battles.




Animals included:

• lions
• tigers
• bears
• snakes
• panthers
• giraffes
• crocodiles
• elephants

Animals and humans

Animals and humans both use play to learn how to work together and to make friends. They both learn new things by playing.

Toys from the past and today

Toys from the past

some toys from the past :

•  kites
•  puppets

Kites are thought to be invented in China over 2,000 years ago. The maori people also made kites like this bird kite.

Some puppet shows in Indonesia would go all day and all night.
