Rainforest Topic

Last week we finished our Rainforest topic. We found out lots about the different animals and plants that were found in the rainforest. 

We worked in groups to research different plants and animals using the internet and information books. To show how much we had learnt we were given the task of creating a display. We all worked very hard and created a very impressive display!

To find out more about the different things we get from the rainforest we had a visit from Lindsay Taylor from the RSPB. We were very shocked to find out how many everyday products came from the rainforest. We didn’t know medicine, wheel tyres, perfume, shampoo and conditioner, chewing gum and chocolate came from the rainforest. We did lots of activities which helped us to realise the importance of the rainforest. We then looked at deforestation of the rainforest and what we could do to help.
