This primary resource introduces children to the Awá tribe of Brazil and their traditional way of life. Find out about of the world's most endangered tribe. Where do the Awá tribe live? What do they eat? How many Awá people are there today?

Pupils will learn about the fascinating culture of the Amazon's Awá tribe in this National Geographic Kids geography primary resource - from building their homes and hunting for food, to their language, family life and hobbies. They will also learn about the threats the Awá people face, and how they have become the most endangered tribe in the world.

The teaching resource can be used for pupils to compare and contrast the Awa's way of life with their own, as well for study group tasks about the importance of environmental conservation for both people and wildlife. The resource can be used as a printed handout for each pupil to review and annotate, or for display on the interactive whiteboard to share the information and photographs for class discussion.

Activity: Ask pupils to use the information in our primary resource and their imagination to write an account entitled ' A day in the Life of the Awá Tribe '. They could start by introducing themselves - what is there name and why? They could then describe their home and who they live with, and write about the activities they do, the food they eat and the animals they interactive with.
N.B. The following information for mapping the resource documents to the school curriculum is specifically tailored to the English National Curriculum and Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. We are currently working to bring specifically tailored curriculum resource links for our other territories; including South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. If you have any queries about our upcoming curriculum resource links, please email: schools@ngkids.co.uk
This Geography primary resource assists with teaching the following Geography objectives from the National Curriculum:

Pupils should extend their knowledge and understanding beyond the local area to include the United Kingdom and Europe, North and South America. This will include the location and characteristics of a range of the world's most significant human and physical features.
National Curriculum Key Stage 1 Geography objective:

Pupils should be taught to: use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to: key human features, including: city, town, village, factory, farm, house, office, port, harbour and shop
National Curriculum Key Stage 2 Geography objective:

Pupils should be taught to: describe and understand key aspects of: human geography, including: types of settlement and land use, economic activity including trade links, and the distribution of natural resources including energy, food, minerals and water

This Geography primary resource assists with teaching the following Social Studies Second level objective from the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence:

I can consider the advantages and disadvantages of a proposed land use development and discuss the impact this may have on the community.

Scottish Curriculum for Excellence Third level Social Studies objective:

By comparing settlement and economic activity in two contrasting landscapes, I can reach conclusions about how landscapes influence human activity. I can explain my findings clearly to others.

I can use a range of maps and geographical information systems to gather, interpret and present conclusions and can locate a range of features within Scotland, UK, Europe and the wider world.

I can investigate the climate, physical features and living things of a natural environment different from my own and explain their interrelationship.

I can identify the possible consequences of an environmental issue and make informed suggestions about ways to manage the impact.

High on a tower overlooking the lush Amazon canopy, Gisele Bundchen and Brazilian climate scientist Antonio Nobre talk about the importance of the rain forest and the impact of cutting down its trees.

As Nobre explains, the rain forest is not only home to an incredible diversity of species, it also has a critical cooling effect on the planet because its trees channel heat high into the atmosphere. In addition, forests absorb and store carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere-CO2 that is released back into the atmosphere when trees are cut and burned.

Nobre warns that if deforestation continues at current levels, we are headed for disaster. The Amazon region could become drier and drier, unable to support healthy habitats or croplands.

Find more of this story in the "Fueling the Fire" episode of the National Geographic Channel's Years of Living Dangerously series.

The Amazon rain forest absorbs one-fourth of the CO2 absorbed by all the land on Earth. The amount absorbed today, however, is 30% less than it was in the 1990s because of deforestation. A major motive for deforestation is cattle ranching. China, the United States, and other countries have created a consumer demand for beef, so clearing land for cattle ranching can be profitable-even if it's illegal. The demand for pastureland, as well as cropland for food such as soybeans, makes it difficult to protect forest resources.

Many countries are making progress in the effort to stop deforestation. Countries in South America and Southeast Asia, as well as China, have taken steps that have helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the destruction of forests by one-fourth over the past 15 years.

Brazil continues to make impressive strides in reducing its impact on climate change. In the past two decades, its CO2 emissions have dropped more than any other country. Destruction of the rain forest in Brazil has decreased from about 19,943 square kilometers (7,700 square miles) per year in the late 1990s to about 5,180 square kilometers (2,000 square miles) per year now. Moving forward, the major challenge will be fighting illegal deforestation.

quantity of carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere by human activities, such as fossil fuel combustion.

destruction or removal of forests and their undergrowth.

We're all scrabbling around in the dark trying to work out the best way to cope with school closures and Easter holidays in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. If your children are at home with you and you're concerned with them keeping up with their school work, we have some fun ways to embed learning activities that won't even feel like learning!

Baking

Baking provides a wealth of learning opportunities...and produces some delicious results too. Working through a simple recipe with your child will help develop measuring skills (Maths), following instructions (English) and can help them understand reversible and irreversible changes (Science).

Practical tip: Ask your child questions as you work through the recipe, such as 'What do we need to do next?', 'How does our mixture look different now to before we added the flour/butter/sugar?', 'How much more flour do we need than sugar?' As an added challenge, try doubling or halving the recipe too!

Planting

Planting seeds and watching them sprout and grow is always a rewarding activity to do with your children. And you don't need a garden either; a few simple supplies are all you need to get you started. Pop some multi-purpose compost in a plant pot, plastic cup or old yogurt pot, sprinkle the seeds in and cover with compost.

Encourage your child to take responsibility for making sure the plant has enough water and sunlight, and challenge them to record what happens to the seed each day. They could take photos, measure the height to record in a graph, draw pictures or write updates.

Practical tip: These plant seeds germinate and reach maturity quickly: mung beans (2-5 days), cress (3-7 days), lima beans (4-7 days), sprouting seeds (4-12 days), radishes (7-14 days), pumpkin (7-21 days), nasturtium (14-21 days). Lettuce, basil, chives, mint and parsley are also relatively easy to grow.

Encourage your child's interests

One of the best parts about educating your child at home is that you can harness their natural enthusiasm for a given subject. Are they crazy about LEGO? Challenge them to find out when LEGO was invented, by who and how it became so popular. Do they love singing and dancing? Challenge them to write and perform their own songs, or even create a music video. Are they crazy about science? Challenge them to put together a demonstration or presentation about their favourite scientist.

While your children are out of school, use this time to get them enthusiastic about learning. If they love what they're doing, they might not even realise they are learning! They can make models, draw pictures, create presentations, write stories...anything at all to show what they know!

Practical tip: A sure-fire way to get children engaged in a project is to give them the role of the 'teacher'. If they feel like experts in a particular field showing off their knowledge to others, it's more likely to keep them on track. In these times of social distancing, arrange a video call with a friend or another home learning family so they can share their knowledge.

Keeping Active

Being less able to go outside and play with other children may mean that your child is less active than normal but there are lots of ways you can incorporate exercise into your new home learning routine.

YouTube is an endless source of great exercise and dance videos for your children. Try these to start with - there are plenty more!

Dance 'n Beats has a wide selection of fun dance routines for younger children to enjoy.

Just Dance has a more challenging selection of videos for older children.

Cosmic Kids Yoga has a fun range of videos to guide your child through yoga sessions.

Jump Start Jonny has some fab free high-energy workouts on his website, plus a few on YouTube too.

Practical tip: Make sure children warm up and warm down before and after each workout session. Walking on the spot, arm swings or circles, jumping jacks, side hops and lunges are all good options.

Computer Coding

This may sound complicated but there are lots of free websites out there for children to help them understand how coding works. One of our favourites is Scratch. Children can program their own interactive stories, games and animations, whilst learning a bunch of key skills along the way.

If you're interested in practical computing and want to get your children doing something a bit more hands-on, you can't go far wrong ordering a BBC micro:bit. These cheap, compact, programmable devices include LED lights, buttons and sensors, all of which can be programmed with Scratch, or via the micro:bit online programming app. The website has loads of brilliant programming projects for children, too.

Practical tip: The main Scratch site is designed for children aged between 8 and 16 but there is also an easier version called ScratchJr for children between the ages of 5 and 7.

Writing Stories

Engaging your child in creativity by planning and writing a story is a great way to embed some learning in a relaxed way. Ask children to pick a main character, a setting and a special object (such as a magic key, a treasure map, a broken lamp or a buried time capsule) and let their imaginations run riot!

Once they have finished their stories, there are lots of ways to present them to the world too. They could stick with the good old traditional pen and paper method, or try creating an eBook. Book Creator is a great free app for this. Children can create their own books, adding photos, images, drawing pictures, writing text, inserting videos or even recording their own voice! They can then publish their books once they've finished.

Practical tip: When challenging children to write a story, use the 'Somebody Wanted But Then So' model for their basic plan which they can then flesh out. For example, SOMEBODY (a space ranger) WANTED (to save the world from an evil alien lord) BUT (their space ship broke down) SO (they hitched a ride with a friendly alien) THEN (they made it just in time to destroy the evil alien lord).

Reading Stories

Daily reading is a key part of your child's education and something that you should continue to do if they are home learning. Both reading to your child and having your child read to you is something that should be done on a regular basis. If you've not got a vast library of books to choose from at home, check out Epic - it has access to 35,000 children's books, learning videos, quizzes and more. You can try it free for 30 days.

You could encourage your child to act out the story once it is finished, or create a puppet show (shadow puppets are great for this) to retell the story they have just read.

And if your child isn't a fan of fiction, non-fiction books are just as valuable. Challenge them to recount what they have found out by creating an information poster or a multimedia presentation.

Practical tip: Every time you read with your child, ask them questions about what they have read. Use this free Reading Question Matrix for a variety of questions that develop into deeper questioning the further into the matrix you go.

Making Models

Model making can be a fun way to engage children in a topic or subject. You could use or modelling clay to make a model of the solar system or to show the different animals and plants in a habitat or food chain. Or you can use recycled objects, such as boxes, food packaging, bubble wrap, newspaper or anything else to make a medieval castle, a space ship, a dinosaur or a Tudor galleon.

Practical tip: Encourage children to test different ways of joining materials before heading straight into their model. Is it better to join cardboard tubes with glue or masking tape? Is it better to join a plastic cup to a cardboard base with staples or glue? Doing this from the get-go might well avoid some difficulties later!

Getting Arty

There are a wealth of Art activities you can do with your child at home that don't require too much equipment (or mess!). Here are our top 5 fuss-free Art activities:

Rock painting: grab some small rocks or pebbles next time you go out for a walk and paint them as animals to create pet rocks!

Photo cut-outs: Print off any picture and cut it in half using zigzag lines. Stick onto a plain sheet of paper and challenge your child to complete the picture.

Copy the masters: Challenge children to replicate the art of artists. Check out the art of Piet Mondrian or Kandinsky for younger artists.

Still life: plop an apple, a vase, a glass or a flower in front of them and challenge children to draw what they see. As an extra challenge, ask them to paint it using just one colour, such as using different shades of red.

Squiggle art: draw a small squiggle on a sheet of paper using curvy or straight lines. Challenge your child to then turn the squiggle into a drawing. You might be surprised at the masterpieces that can be developed from these simple squiggles!

Practical tip: If you're looking for more arty inspiration, Pinterest is an excellent port of call for children's art activities.

Other fun home learning challenges:

Treasure hunts: Hide a variety of challenges or calculations around the house. Children have to find and solve each one to get a prize.

Sorting objects: Gather a variety of household objects and challenge your child to sort them into groups. How many different ways can you sort them? What criteria can you use? Can you think of anything else that would fit into each group?

Make a board game: Challenge your child to make their own board game, such as their own version of snakes and ladders, or a quiz game using a subject they are very familiar with.

Create puzzles: Ask your child to create a Maths puzzle or secret code to email to a friend. Can they crack the code?

Turn the tables: Invite your child to be the teacher and teach you something you don't know!

We are immensely proud of what we have accomplished over the last 100 days of lockdown and although we sought a way forward we could not find a sustainable solution. We would like to thank all our young writers and listeners for their contributions and we hope they enjoyed the shows as much as we did in producing them. We would also like to thank the incredible array of authors, poets and musicians who freely gave their time and wisdom to the project. The belief and support that they gave helped us to feel that what we were doing was worthwhile.

It is difficult to list everyone who has supported the show, but we would like to acknowledge, in particular, the huge contribution that Rachel Orr made to the project recording songs for us; the very vocal support of Larraine Harrison, Claire Kilgour and SF Said; and finally all the teachers, parents and children who wrote and recorded stories, poems, reports, comments and much more throughout. Without you our project would have died a long time ago.

All our shows will remain on RadioBlogging.Net for as long as there is demand for them and in due course we will be producing a catalogue to enable you to search for individual authors, types of writing, teacher notes and more. We hope that this will become a resource that can be dipped into to support learning for a long time to come.

Thank you for joining us on our journey,

David, Ian John, Pie and Russell

Welcome to RadioBlogging - daily shows with interactive activities to keep everyone busy and engaged, brought to you by Pie Corbett, Deputy Mitchell, Ian Rockey and Russell Prue, just listen and blog, it's live, fun and interactive.

What is RadioBlogging?

RadioBlogging.Net is a LIVE daily radio broadcast that teaches literacy and is aimed at families and schools. It's interactive so that children can write and their work is published during and after the show, with immediate feedback to develop children's learning. Each day there are spelling, grammar and vocabulary games, followed by creative writing and the opportunity to respond to a guest author's reading. Each show features either a poet or author of the day. All posts are moderated and there is a team of educators and professionals who respond to the children's writing. It is an innovative project combining education radio and blogging to enhance and support continuous learning provision at this critical time.

We are immensely proud of what we have accomplished over the last 100 days of lockdown and although we sought a way forward we could not find a sustainable solution. We would like to thank all our young writers and listeners for their contributions and we hope they enjoyed the shows as much as we did in producing them.
