Greta and The Giants

By Kim Ferguson, in Year 3 - Tuesday, 18 June 2024

During science day we listened to the story 'Greta and The Giants.' The inspiring picture book retells the story of Nobel Peace Prize nominee Greta Thunberg – the Swedish teenager who has led a global movement to raise awareness about the world’s climate crisis.

Greta is a little girl who lives in a beautiful forest threatened by Giants. When the Giants first came to the forest, they chopped down trees to make houses. Then they chopped down more trees and made even bigger homes. The houses grew into towns and the towns grew into cities, until now there is hardly any forest left. Greta knows she has to help the animals who live in the forest, but how? Luckily, Greta has an idea…

The children in Hazel class recreated a scene from the book and used collage materials and different media to make one of the trees in the forest.
