Year Four have been looking at threatened species in the world, with a focus on the Shoalhaven. This coincides with a competition being run by Shoalhaven City Council. We have researched some key facts on animals and created an accompanying artwork. 

In our class we have been viewing the amount of threatened species within the world. Unfortunately, Australia is amongst the top ten countries with the highest number of threatened species, both flora and fauna. Many of these species are under threat due human impact. As a class we researched the impact that we can have on our environment, the ecosystems of many animals and most importantly what we can do to improve the chances of survival for all of our species for many generations to come. 

One way that we thought we could raise awareness for these defenceless animals is sharing our research with our peers across the school. We each went to a different class in the school and spent some time informing others of the threatened species rarely found anymore in the Shoalhaven region. To further extend our knowledge we are sharing some information in our school newsletter.
