People’s impact on the globe

One of the things they are astonished about is that you can fit the 6 billion people that live on this planet, if they were to the scale of the earth balloon, on a 2p piece.  So you get this idea that all those 6 billion people would actually take up very little space on the earth balloon, and yet their needs and their impact have a massive impact on the globe.  And that’s not where I leave them.  I have a strong belief that if we are going to be encouraging critical analysis, we are going to be doing enquiry learning;  we are going to be looking at trying to get an understanding of what’s going on.  We must also not just critique it, but create.  We must be thinking about what could we do.  What steps could we take.  So we have a lot of open-ended discussions around what kind of things the children can do to be part of the solution rather than just part of the problem.
