I'll leave you with this short clip to give you bit more of a background on palm oil production.
That's right the common link is Palm Oil, a substance used in many of the products we consume and use every single day. Before I told the students what the link was we watched the video clip above right, to put some perspective on things, and to help them make the connections themselves. Throughout the rest of this term we will be learning more about Palm Oil, and more importantly we will be learning about the global effects of continued production. We hope you continue to visit to watch us all grow as global citizens who can impact change in the world no matter how big or small! I'll leave you with this short clip to give you bit more of a background on palm oil production.

Great social awareness project for the kids. I know Skye gets upset when she hears/sees of animals becoming extinct. Its good they can gain an understanding of global situations and things they can do to help.

I totally agree! Sometimes we shelter children from the realities of these things, when in fact they are the generation that has the most power to affect change! The kids get really involved when it is a real issue at hand and the learning becomes instinctive.
