http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/clips/zwycd2p
2.) After the video, can you write down three things that the children do in their everyday lives in the Amazon Rainforest, and explain how it is different to your life in Glasgow? (3 sentences)
3.) Is there anything that is similar/the same to your life as it is in the Rainforest for the children there? (1-2 sentences)
1) The children help to make baskets by weaving leaves.(2) The children pick out corn.(3)The children make porridge out of the corn
(1The children love playing football. (2) The children make homemade necklaces & beads out out of nutshell
Do you also make necklaces at home here? Is that something similar?
here is an updated version of my homework: The children in the rainforest make porridges out of red or Indian corn. The children help other people by picking out nutshells and make stuff out of it such as necklaces or beads. Children weave plants to make baskets. Children pick out the food but i rarely do it .Children like to make their own accessories but i don’t.People in the rainforest live in different type of house that we or i live in.The children like to play football in the rainforest as much as we like it here in Glasgow
Well done for looking over your work and up-levelling your answer 🙂
they hunt for their food and we buy our food
they use sticks for spoons
the children there dont live in houses like ours.
they have different corn.
they have no spoons.
they play football and have fun things with their parents
they all like to play
Well done Adam! Some great answers! Remember to use capital letters at the start of your sentences and full stops at the end of a sentence 🙂
The children do lots of work in the village but I only do small chores.The children mostly eat red corn🌽 porridge while I,eat lot’s of different foods.The children don’t have cars and have to walk,while I use my car.
I eat lot’s of corn and so do they.
It’s quite interesting realising how much variety we have in foods, isn’t it? We are super lucky to have choice! 🙂
They live in a rainforest. People in the rainforest make their own accessories out of nutshells. They make their own houses out leaves and sticks. They love to play!
1 They work even though they’re young.
2 They usually make stuff out of plants.
3 All the children come when they are playing football.
1 They wear vests.
2 They have different jobs like i have to take out the trash and feed my cat.
Some great observations made, Ike. Do you think their house chores are similar to yours though? Do you think they might have “tougher” chores than you, or do you think yours are “tougher” than theirs?
Hi miss Li I finally got on it so here is my home work
So in the Amazon rainforest,the children have to to play foot ball as a game. They make a beed necklace out of nut shells. Last but not least,they do not have shops in the rainforest and don’t have much money,so they have to walk ALOT to go to shops.
There is not much to simaler, but I’ve got a phew things, so here we go. They don’t wair socks because it is to warm. Lastly they look like they don’t get much food and not much school or education.
So I thought this was fun bye miss Li see you at school, byeee
Well done 🙂 Do you not see football here though? Is that really different to the children here? Also, remember that was only a 3 minute video – you might not have seen that they were “educated” and perhaps they had other food? The video just focuses on a few things.
The children put red corn in a bowl and put the seeds in one at a time and make Beed necklaces out of shells they also play sometimes.It is different to my life because we don’t make necklaces out of shells or even were necklaces made out of shells.
Good effort! Was that three differences though, Khadijah?
The children in the rainforest are helping their parents and are working everyday. They are weaving baskets and making porridge from Indian corn. They pick up the beads and they make necklaces. Their life is different from Glasgow, because the kids in the rainforest are working, but in Glasgow we are going to school and we are doing our homework.
The similarity is that they are playing and we are playing, too.
Spot on! Great comparisons being made 🙂 Be careful not to use commas where you don’t need them (you don’t need one before “because”)
1)they pick the corn off and make it into things like porridge-we use oats for porridge as well as milk
2)they sort out the nutshells to make new necklaces-we either just buy the beads to make them or get them ready made
3)they play on a solid floor or bits of wood- where as we play on either a sandy ground or a grass ground
they like to play football and they make porridge like us
Do we use oats for milk??? But well done for making these observations.
**Don’t forget to use capital letters and full stops when you’re writing 🙂
Difference:
1.They live in huts not houses.
2.They don’t use electronics.
3.They don’t use lots of metal like for houses and jewelry.
Similar:
1.They play FOOTBALL!!
2.They keep dogs and livestock.
3.They don’t always work or always play.
Well done, great answers! What do you think about their lifestyle without electronics?
The children have to help make meals for them and their tribe.They live in little villages of huts on stilts.Some children help their grandparents make nut shell necklaces.
One similarities between my live in Glasgow and their lives in the rainforest are that they have to help with things in their houses and I have to help with things in my house.Another similaritie between my life and their life is they help prepare meals and I help prepare meals.
Great answers, Sam. It’s very comforting to hear that you are helping your hardworking parents at home 🙂
The children life in the Amazon Rainforest:
1/ Tomy helps hir grandmother weave basket that’s made from plants

The similar Amazon lifestyle than Glasgow life
All children love to play football
Fantastic answers, Fatimah! Do you think you could weave a basket too? Must be really tricky! Watch out when you say “all children” love football – not everybody here likes football, but we certainly have similar sports here 🙂
I like to watch my friends play football and so do they I like to make things so do they i love ❤️ to play so do they
That’s a good observation to make about the similarities, but remember to read the question and focus on what it is asking you to do. What were the three differences you could see?
