Rainforests
Our next topic is all about rainforests. Use the links below to gather some research or try one of the activities we have provided.
Can you research information about rainforests and create a PowerPoint presentation (if you have access to a computer at home). If not, can you create a fact file on your favourite rainforest animal or even create a list of fascinating facts or did you know questions about the rainforest - draw pictures and make it colourful.
