Classroom Education
What to Expect
Primary
The presentation consists of a quick discussion on climate change followed by a reading of our digital storybook, “The Climate Change Club Helps at Home.” The book follows our Climate Change Club characters taking a road trip across NL – including stops in Hopedale, Conne River, Ramea, and St. John’s! – to explore ways our communities are tackling climate change. If time permits, the presentations will conclude with a short video about ways to mitigate climate change at home (featuring our mascot Polly the Polar Bear).
Length: 30 minutes
Bonus: Each student will receive a copy of “The Climate Change Club Helps at Home" book to take home!
