This comprehensive pack is great for teachers looking for activities to engage their school’s Environmental Club, or for those who simply want to get their class to learn more about wildlife. Based on the theme of threats to wildlife, this pack includes a range of ideas and activities that can be run across a school term.
Pupils can pick which activities that are particularly important to them and their school, and of course are achievable. The activities are designed to be run on a weekly basis, but can be run across a longer time-frame depending on the interest of the club members and the amount of time they would like to dedicate to them.
Starting an Environmental Club at your school is a great way to promote wild animal conservation and welfare while helping your pupils engage in practical learning. If you need any support please contact education@bornfree.org.uk

Une courte unité de travail destinée aux élèves du primaire, ou aux élèves plus âgés apprenant le français langue étrangère, sur des animaux sauvages se produisant dans des cirques. Chaque leçon doit durer une heure, bien qu’il existe de nombreuses possibilités de raccourcir ou d’allonger les activités. Ce sujet a de nombreux liens transversaux, avec des liens étroits avec les programmes britanniques de science, de géographie, de SMSC et de citoyenneté.
Leçon 1. Adaptations animales
Décrire comment différents organismes sont adaptés à leur environnement
Expliquer pourquoi les organismes réussissent le mieux dans leur propre environnement naturel
Leçon 2. Une journée dans la vie d’un tigre
Pour comparer la vie d’un tigre dans la nature avec celle d’un cirque
Rédiger une entrée de journal intitulée «Une journée dans la vie d’un tigre».
Leçon 3. Faut-il interdire tous les animaux sauvages des cirques?
Comprendre les arguments pour et contre l’interdiction des animaux sauvages dans les cirques
Se forger une opinion
Ecrire une lettre convaincante.
Le contexte:
Dans le monde entier, des milliers d’animaux sauvages sont utilisés dans les cirques et forcés d’effectuer des tours humiliants et contre nature pour divertir le public. Le bien-être des animaux domestiques et sauvages est souvent gravement compromis dans un environnement de cirque.
Born Free travaille à travers le Royaume-Uni et l’Europe pour mettre fin à l’utilisation d’animaux sauvages dans les cirques et soutient les partenaires de la campagne internationale dans leurs efforts. Dans la mesure du possible, Born Free sauve les animaux des conditions épouvantables des cirques. Au fil des ans, nous avons sauvé et accueilli plusieurs grands félins de cirques en France, en Bulgarie, en Italie et en Allemagne. Nous leur fournissons des soins à vie de haut niveau dans des sanctuaires. Cependant, ce sont les plus chanceux.
