Primary 3 have been learning about food chains. This week we have looked at different rainforest animals and discussed what they might eat. We then created our own food chains for jaguars in the rainforest.

After reading our class story book ‘The Great Kapok Tree’ children were excited about the snake, which was a Boa Constrictor. Today we looked at pictures and talked about what the skin of these animals looked like before drawing our own detailed designs.

While the class were working, groups of children were called out to discuss what they felt the boa constrictors food chain would look like.

This is pictures of us trying to create the food chain.

We then found out that the longest boa constrictor ever was 4 metres long!

We measured out 4 metres to show this, to take a picture we used 3 Primary 3s plus our class bear! We could not believe it was so long!
