This week we have been learning more about the rainforest!
Emily presented an excellent poster she made at home to teach us all about sloths.
We learned lots about the layers of the rainforest and this afternoon we made the layers! I am sure you’ll agree the boys and girls did an excellent job to build a model of the rainforest together!
