P3/4 – IDL and Fairtrade
Having learnt about products and resources the rainforests give us, we decide to look into fairtrade products.
P3/4 watched a video describing what can happen to non-fairtrade farmers who grow crops and compared this to farmers who are fairtrade farmers. They worked in pairs to compare the journeys these products take. We had a lot of discussion about how it is fair that the farmers get a fair price and what they can do with the money.
P3/4 – Topic with Technology
We learn about the products and resources we can get from the rainforests. Pupils then learnt how to create a PicCollage on the iPad to display their learning about the rainforest products and resources.
P3/4 RAINFOREST PLANTS
P3/4 scanned QR codes to access different websites on our iPads to find out information about rainforest plants.
Things we learnt:
- “The trees in the rainforests can be called the lungs of the planet.”
- “They [the trees] take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen.”
- “Some leaves have drip tips.”
- “Plants can grow without soil.”
- “Some trees can grow to 200 feet.” – Mrs Conetta converted this to metres and told us that this would be 60 metre sticks tall!
- “There are some plants that eat flies!”
