Deforestation

Your children can create a piece of writing to persuade the local council not to build through a forest.

Give your class a brief overview and inform them that local builders are looking to build houses, which will result in the forest being cut down.

Ask your class to create an argument and think of the reasons why the forest should not be cut down and the impact this would have. You can also set up a debate, reasons for and against.
