Year 4 enjoyed an exciting visit from Rainforest Dave on Tuesday 20th January. He brought a fascinating variety of rainforest animals, giving the children the opportunity to observe them closely, hold them carefully and learn interesting facts about their habitats. The children revisited the four layers of the rainforest and explored how different plants and animals are adapted to survive in each layer. They also had the chance to ask Dave questions and learn about his travelling adventures to rainforests around the world, where he shared funny stories about fruit bats and explained why you definitely wouldn’t want to spend too long standing underneath one! “The snake wrapped its tail around my wrist. It looked slimy, but it wasn’t,” said Emma (Redwood), while Eli added, “The snake was nice and soft.” Chloe shared, “I liked the owl best because it flew over our heads,” and Avah said, “My favourite animal was the gecko because I liked its patterns.”
