Bethany song about the Rainforests

Do you know that people are cutting trees,

Do you know that we are losing the rainforests,

Do you know that p6a are trying to help,

Do you know that we are losing half of our animals,

Today Fionn’s dad came to visit us to tell us about the time that he spent in the rainforest in Borneo. Fionn’s dad was there when he was Fionn’s age and he told us about his memories and he brought in some of the things that he had from his time there. We were especially interested in the blow pipe and the arrows that you would put into it.
Thank Mr Hollingsbee for giving up your time and giving us an interesting talk.

Chocolate Planets

Mrs Hinks from Cocoa Black came in to school to help us make chocolate planets.

First we painted melted chocolate onto our baubles and then stuck on some sprinkles.

Then we painted on some special shimmer powder.

Finally we put our planets in a bag and licked all the chocolate off our fingers!
