Year 2 students from Dwight School, London have been learning about 'Sharing the Planet'. They've created these wonderful posters on deforestation, global warming and overfishing. They wanted to help 'take action and raise awareness' by publishing their work here at Eco Kids Planet.
This is what the children would like to share in reflecting on their learning:
The earth is getting too hot because of the Green House effect. There is a lot of pollution from cars, buses, trains and aeroplanes. People are cutting down trees to make things such as paper. The natural environment changes and people build houses, factories, shops, skyscrapers, towers, schools, bridges, hospitals, airports and so many other things. There is also plastic pollution. People are buying what they want, not what they need. They are overfishing for money! When fishermen go out into the ocean, they don’t realise that there is an oil leak from their boats. Sometimes they don’t care!
We think all this should STOP! Together we can save the planet by:
Great work Year 2! Proud to see you taking action

We were swept away by the response to this competition. Letters arrived from rivers across the world – the Thames, the Mississippi and many more unnamed waterways – each one brimming with personality, passion and a genuine love of the natural world. You gave your rivers voices that were worried, hop...
Somewhere beneath a grassy field right now, a tiny insect is building an underground loudspeaker. Male mole crickets engineer horn-shaped burrows that amplify their calls hundreds of metres into the night air – and your child can recreate the same science at home using nothing but cardboard and a phone. This hands-on experiment explores sound, shape and natural engineering in a way that is genuinely surprising. No screens, no special equipment, just a brilliant idea borrowed from nature.
Our Risky Moment competition invited young explorers to capture a risky moment in the wild – a split second when animals must make bold choices to survive. From daring leaps across rocky cliffs to dangerous river crossings, we received many hair-raising entries showing just how adventurous life in nature can be.
