Essential Learning Frame Monday, 25 Sept 2023


Check out this amazing Year 3 student project that made its way into National Geographic Kids magazine! Ole, a budding young explorer, found his true passion during an English unit (Essential Learning Frame) focused on information texts. Guess what it was? Axolotls – those intriguing aquatic creatures that seem straight out of a science fiction story!

For his final presentation, Ole dived headfirst into the world of axolotls, and something magical happened – he fell head over heels for these unique creatures. Not only did he learn everything there is to know about them, but he also developed a fiery determination to protect and preserve their habitat. Talk about a tiny scientist with a big heart!

Ole's dedication to saving axolotls became his driving force. He spent countless hours researching these critters and their endangered status. And let me tell you, when Ole gets passionate about something, there's no stopping him – he's like a rocket fueled by curiosity and determination!

Here's the coolest part: Ole stumbled upon a mind-blowing fact during his research journey – axolotls have the incredible ability to regrow almost any limb! This isn't just a cool party trick; it could potentially save human lives in the future. Imagine that!

So, our young axolotl advocate decided to take matters into his own hands. He penned a heartfelt letter to the wonderful folks at National Geographic, asking them to shine a spotlight on these remarkable creatures and the urgent need to protect their environment. He also shared the wealth of knowledge he'd gained during his school project.

Let's give a virtual round of applause to Ole, the unstoppable force on a mission to make the world a better place for axolotls and the future generations they might just help save. You go, Ole! And to National Geographic Kids, we can't wait to see the impact of Ole's heartfelt appeal – who knows, it might just ignite a movement for the axolotls!
