Dear Greenpeace

Product Information

Find out about the migration of whales and plot their movements on a map of the world. How far do they travel? The text font was a good idea, as it helps differentiate between the letters between Emily and Greenpeace. It was nicely applied. Find out about the sizes of different animals (including humans and whales) and use this to create some graphs and charts.

Choose an animal and make a list of similarities and differences between your chosen animal and a whale. Do you have any other 'Persuasive Writing' resources/plans - much like in the Lit Shed + units, as there doesn't appear to be any? Greenpeace responds with the information. Greenpeace tries to emphasise that the whale wouldn't be living in a pond over a course of many letters. I must admit, initially I was wondering how it will end. I like the ending very much. Emily reads the letters from Greenpeace to her whale who she named Arthur. Then one day he disappears. Greenpeace responds saying perhaps when she is older she would like to sail the oceans studying and protecting whales with Greenpeace. The last letter is Emily saying she saw Arthur at the sea side, she told him she loves him and Greenpeace loves him too!Unlike some of the people that run Greenpeace, it’s my generation that will have to live with the consequences of climate change. In my experience young people tend to be open minded to all solutions, including nuclear. It’s an emergency after all! A simple message. So beautifully conveyed. There is no scenario where the child is lying. Or by some magical twist there really was a whale. It is up to the reader to interpret it as he wishes. I love the story. I love the message behind it. I love the idea of protecting our animals being instilled in children. https://images.google.bs/url?sa=t&url=https://www.liveinternet.ru/users/gusionsaber/post499368810// Worried that the whale living in her pond is unhappy, Emily writes to Greenpeace, who, though offering the best of advice, insist that it is impossible for a whale to live in a pond. Undeterred, Emily continues to seek the best course of action for her beloved whale, finally setting him free. About This Edition ISBN:

Love the letter format, different writing styles and different fonts used to illustrate Emily's and Greenpeace's communication, a great book to promote letter writing to children in the classroom. It all sounds a bit nerdy, but it couldn’t be more important. It meant that nuclear, (alongside other clean energy sources like wind and solar) could get the critical financial investment needed to help save our climate. Simon’s first book, The Day Jake Vacuumed, was published in 1989 – and two more books about Jake soon followed (reissued by Walker in 2002). His first title for Walker Books, My Friend Whale, was the first of several concerned with a child’s relationship with the natural world – Dear Greenpeace, Sally and the Limpet, The Wild Woods and The Birdwatchers have established Simon as one of the country’s leading author/illustrators. Leon and Bob won the Smarties Book Prize Silver Award and was the New York Times' Best Illustrated Book of the Year, and Days Like This, a collection of small poems, was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal. Baby Brains was the overall winner of the Red House Children's Book Award in 2005, voted for by 25,000 children, and Simon followed up this success with two more Baby Brains titles, Baby Brains Superstar and Baby Brains and RoboMum. Simon continues to be a much sought-after speaker in schools, and at festivals and conferences both in the UK and in the USA. This book of small poems is about seizing the day in all its many moods and moments: the joy of bouncing on a bed or sledging in the snow, the quiet contemplation of a pink azalea bush or a guppy in a jar, the pleasure of a picnic on the beach or sleeping outdoors under the stars… Following the reading sessions, we then decided that we would write letters to the Prime Minister in protest against palm oil products in the UK.An unusual and rather lovely picture book, Dear Greenpeace combines delightful, light illustrations with sharp, intelligent text in the form of letters. A simple, warm hearted and humorous book with charming illustrations. The correspondence could spark ideas for letter writing in the classroom setting.
