This fantastic virtual experience is run by Emma Espley, a former geography teacher and now freelance consultant, and Adriana Meirelles, a Brazilian film producer and animator with first-hand experience of the Amazon.
Your pupils will:

• Explore key aspects of physical geography, e.g. climate zones, biomes and vegetation belts.

• Explore key aspects of human geography, e.g. settlement and land use, economic activity, including trade links, and the distribution of natural resources.

• Develop their geographical skills through the use of maps, atlases, globes and digital/computer mapping.

• Identify similarities and differences between their region in the UK and that of the Amazon.

• Engage with similar-aged children from the Kambeba indigenous community in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.

• Consider how our modern lifestyles are impacting upon the Amazon.

• Create Amazonian inspired artwork

• Share their thoughts and ideas with pupils within their class and school, as well as those from other participating establishments.
