On Wednesday, the children experienced a live author event, to celebrate Earth Day (22nd April) with a focus on climate and environmental literacy, by joining an online session with James Sellick, who read his picture book, There’s a Rang-tan in my Bedroom.
There’s a Rang-tan in my Bedroom is a story about a baby orangutan that suddenly shows up in a young girl’s bedroom. At first, the girl isn’t best pleased, but when she finds out why the orangutan is there, everything changes. As well as the reading, James spoke about the important topic of deforestation for palm oil and helped children understand what they can do to help.
The children followed up the discussion by applying their resourcefulness skills to design posters informing others of the dangers of deforestation.
