The start of Spring term has seen the beginning of a new project focus. This term we are looking at 'Protecting our Planet for the Future' with the key concepts of sustainability, responsibility and choice. The class have been busy completing map work locating the Equator, the Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer. We have discussed the tropical climate in this area and how that results in the growth of a 'Rainforest'. The class have studied the 4 different layers of the Rainforest and the animals that live there. We have linked our project to English by writing a poem about 'Deforestation' using language techniques such as 'onomatopoeia'. In art, we drew Orangutans as this is linked with our project work on 'Deforestation'. Alongside this we discussed how the use of 'Palm Oil' has affected the Population of Orangutans.
