Our IDL topic this term is the Amazonian Rainforest. As it was not possible to travel to South America to see the animals, Mrs McNaught arranged for some of the animals to come and visit us.
Toby – I didn’t know that tarantulas kept very still and then jumped at their prey.
Muriam – I enjoyed holding the corn snake. I t felt very smooth.
Zaina – I enjoyed when the tree frog jumped out of its box and hid under Mrs McNaught’s chair!!!!!
Rebecca – I learned that some snakes and tarantulas would never go near humans.
