This half term, we are geographers. Geographers study the land (the physical features) and the people who live within it (the human features).
This week, the children have been busy exploring the different layers of a rainforest. We’ve discovered that there are 4 different layers: emergent, canopy, understory and the forest floor.
They explored what plants and animals live in each part and then took to drawing. Take a look at their work:
Year 6 then learnt about why the Amazon Rainforest is important.
“We need the Amazon Rainforest because it produces oxygen for everyone to breath.”
“The Amazon Rainforest is important because it helps to reduce climate change as it takes in the carbon dioxide in the world.”
“Lots of different animals and plants live there – we don’t want to destroy their home!”
Help at home: Can your child use their new topic vocabulary in a sentence?
