In Y5 we have been learning all about the rainforests this half term. We have studied the Amazon rainforest in particular. In Science, we have found out about some different creatures that live there and plants which grow there.
In Literacy, our aim was to learn how to write persuasively. As part of our learning journey we wrote letters to Friends of the Earth to convince them to support our belief that the rainforests must be protected.
Yasin in Meerkats has made great progress in Writing this year. Here is his excellent letter:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing about why we should not hurt the rainforest. Because only a fool would think cutting down the trees in the rainforest is a good idea.
The habitats get chopped down and eventually animals become extinct. 50,000 orangutans have been killed for palm oil.
We will have less oxygen and without oxygen we will die because we will have to breathe CO2 (carbon dioxide).
In conclusion I think you should not support anyone who wants to hurt the rainforests.
Yasin
