Primary 2a September blog

We have been learning lots about the rainforest and many animals that live there. We know that there are four layers in the rainforest, the forest floor, the understory, the canopy and the emergent layer. We have been comparing the differences between each of the layers. The rainforest is very wet and warm and we have learning how that affects the animals that live there.

This week we have loved learning about the poison dart frog. The poison dart frog is very brightly coloured as a warning to other animals that it is poisonous. The poison is so strong that it could kill 10 adults. It is very tiny and lives on the forest floor and in the trees.

Our art has been based on rainforest animals. We made and painted amazing toucans, we collaged blue morpho butterflies and poison dart frogs. We worked well together to make our own rainforest for the class.

After celebrating Roald Dahl’s birthday we have been reading the Twits. We are really enjoying it so far and can’t wait to find out what happens.

Last week we took part in the Giffnock Parent Council ‘Run the length of Scotland’ event. We each ran a mile, had fun and were proud of our achievement.

We have been awesome achievers this month in and out of school. Some of us have received medals for swimming, started new clubs, been helping out at home and learning to ride a bike.

Well done Primary 2a 🙂
