The education sector is critical to the Project in communicating that rainforests are at the heart of climate change. To support schools in their vital role of informing and shaping the leaders of tomorrow about the threat presented to our planet by the destruction of the rainforests, we have produced a dedicated website for schools. Designed to appeal to children aged between three and 11 (Foundation, KS1, and KS2 levels), it presents National Curriculum-linked lesson plans that allow classes to work towards an award, graduating from Rainforest Apprentices to Explorers, Rangers and finally Rainforest Guardians as their knowledge and involvement grows. The Award have been specifically designed to allow children to learn about the full range of rainforest issues, including biodiversity, climate change, indigenous people and ecosystems, and to provide children with a number of practical experiences – from making masks and insect mobiles to recording a soundtrack of animal noises to creating posters. The children will then present their work to others - family, friends and peers – and help them to develop an understanding of the vital importance of rainforests and the important role that The Prince's Rainforests Project is playing in helping to conserve and restore them. > Click here to visit the schools site > Click here to sign your school up in support of the work of The Prince's Rainforests Project. > Find out more about The Prince's Rainforests Project Award for Schools In January, we will be adding teachers resources for Key Stage 3 and 4 to the schools site.
