Year 4 Rainforest Adventure
Year 4 had an exciting Rainforest Roadshow, and it felt like we stepped right into the Amazon. We were brave explorers as we held real rainforest creatures, including a tarantula, a praying mantis, and even a millipede. We had the opportunity to wear colourful Amazonian‑style face paint, which made us look like members of a rainforest tribe. We created our own jewellery inspired by rainforest designs and explored fascinating artefacts that showed how people in the rainforest

They explored the music trail, played parachute games and went on a nighttime walk with head torches to look at the stars.
