What is I Amazon<br />
for primary schools?<br />
The Amazon rainforest is amazing. Home to one in 10 of all the wild species on Earth, it’s a unique<br />
and irreplaceable ecosystem. To celebrate this, <strong>Sky</strong> and WWF have developed I Love Amazon for<br />
primary schools, an exciting, free, and flexible set of activities that gives pupils aged 5 to 11, the<br />
chance to explore the Amazon rainforest.<br />
By exploring this incredible natural wonder we hope<br />
that your pupils will:<br />
• become aware of its importance<br />
• learn about some of the dangers facing it<br />
• understand what we can do to help protect it<br />
Run activities when it suits you<br />
I Love Amazon for primary schools is incredibly<br />
flexible and can be run at any time during the year.<br />
The activities could be delivered as part of a collapsed<br />
curriculum week or simply as part of your normal<br />
teaching materials throughout the academic year.<br />
Making a difference in Brazil<br />
I Love Amazon for primary schools is part of <strong>Sky</strong> and<br />
WWF’s wider campaign, <strong>Sky</strong> <strong>Rainforest</strong> <strong>Rescue</strong> which<br />
aims to help protect one billion trees in the Amazon<br />
rainforest, in the state of Acre (pronounced ack-ray),<br />
north-west Brazil by making the trees worth more alive<br />
than dead to the communities living there.<br />
