P4 – this week in literacy and IDL

Researchers hard at work!
This week we were given a section of the rainforest to research at our table. We used fiction texts and the Active Wild website and created posters at our table, listing as many creatures we could find that lived there. We then shared our learning with the class and saw that many of the creatures appeared in several different layers. Next we each chose one creature to do specific research on. We focussed on habitat, appearance, diet and any other useful facts, like hunting and hiding methods. We produced a factfile which we will use next to create a Word document. We have seen the effects of deforestation and heard of the forest fires destroying this beautiful, fragile habitat. we produced a poster to raise awareness of he current state of the Amazon. Ask us what we know about the importance of the Amazon rainforest to our planet.
