We had a really brilliant day at The Butterfly Farm on Tuesday, where we began to learn about the Rainforests and the animals and birds that live there. We walked through the humid hot houses imagining we were in a rainforest. During this term we will be learning about the importance of the rainforests to the plane. Parents, you can help the children by reading any non-fiction books about the rainforests and animals with them. so please check out your local libraries!
