WINNERS ANNOUNCED:
free_acorn and knowledgeable_elephant
Wow! We would love to see all of these statements and slogans on placards at a protest! We especially liked the ones designed by Graveney and Faringdon. Great effort! We chose a primary school winner this week who emphasised the impact that an individual can have on climate change:
I CHANGE NOT CLIMATE CHANGE
and a secondary school winner who used a clever pun to poke fun at those who are doing the damage:
DON'T BE A FOSSIL FUEL.
Well done!
WEEKLY COMPETITION #35:
It's the start of a new Issue, so we need to warm up!
Lots of young people have been protesting about the increase in the Earth's temperature. They have been calling on governments to take action, quickly.
What would you put on your placard, if you were to join a protest? It'll need to be short, catchy and get your message across.
Write your idea below - winners will be announced on Friday!

Skolstrejk för klimatet. I chose this because Greta Thunberg, a Swedish schoolgirl and young climate activist, protested by sitting outside the Riksdag every day during school hours with the sign Skolstrejk för klimatet.

My one is:
If the change is quicker
We will reduce our anger
This is because the more they do about it the more we support them and there will be less chaos.

03 Jun 2019
Dear government,
There’s been an increase in the weather and it’s effecting the country I was wondering if you could do something to stop it because it’s been here a while we can’t just keep it like that so here’s a list of ideas I have thought of:
Deliver ice-packs/cold objects through the neighbourhoods doors every morning until it goes
We could have cold buildings like saunas but cold what anyone could pay to go in
We could have portable gazebos for everyone
This is all I can think of.

03 Jun 2019
Pollution is the case
Our lives matter
Lives are being wasted
Living things are dying
Up is the way the gas goes
These lives matter
In our lives,we have lost things,sometimes things bigger than homes
Our lives depend on food,travel,drinking water and other things
if the politicians don’t listen theN we will have to work ourselves.
03 Jun 2019
Earth does not belong to us; We belong to Earth.

03 Jun 2019
We look after older people, so why not our older planet?
03 Jun 2019
A poem for this issue could be :
Disagreements could cause our world to shatter,
If the government don't do something about this serious matter,
Without Earth we are nothing ,
Just like eggs, to a ready to be baked muffin,
Don't look at this and disagree with me,
Together we can make harmony,
With more CO2 our world is in danger,
Just like you talking to a stranger,
The government should take action,
So our world doesn't turn smaller than a fraction!
Great use of simile!
Thank you for the star.
I really like this one!

04 Jun 2019
Don't blame the earth for all your rage,
Be the one to make the change.
I chose this because everyone is always angry at how many world disasters are hurting people, but it really is because of the people that live on the earth. you can be the one to fix that just by caring.
04 Jun 2019
Help us to increase awareness
Do not be the one who is careless

My placard slogan ideas.
If someone was drowning you'd rescue them
If someone was crying you'd comfort them
If someone was injured you'd save them
If the world was dying you'd help it
But it is, and we are not
If the world dies there will be no funeral, there will be no one alive to go to it.
If the WORLD dies WE die.
The world has kept us alive for hundreds of thousands of years.
It's now our turn to keep it alive.
04 Jun 2019

There is not enough time in the world for me,
To do all the things that I wish to do,
To see all the things I wish to see,
To say how I feel about you.
When I see you or hear your name,
I feel like I’ve changed lives with Romeo,
And you are my Juliet all the same,
If I could talk to you and let you know.
I keep imagining you feel it too,
But you probably haven’t seen my, face
Yet I still really want to be with you,
And you could be my special place.
Oh... and when you walk right past me,
I know you are the happily ever after for me.
Just please save the earth 😭😭😭
05 Jun 2019

Where do cars take us?
They take us to extinction,
Using petrol and diesel,
We fuel our way there,
Ruining each other,
Our environment,
Our life.

Other people say it will in billions of years,

Don't neglect, our world is wrecked
All the threat, is on regret!
Reasoning= We have the knowledge that tells us that climate change and global warming is killing our planet right now, but only some people are only bothered when it is very serious not when it is becoming serious. My rhymes would help them getting it stuck in their tiny heads and do something about our planet!
05 Jun 2019
C ~ Control the way you effect,
H ~ Have a heart and don't neglect,
