Year 6 Autumn Term Updates!

Living Rainforest

To link with our Geography topic, we had a year group trip to the Living Rainforest. We explored the glass houses, on the lookout for incredible plants and creatures that we had started to learn about. We saw some incredible reptiles and birds and eagerly sought out the elusive sloth, who was hiding up in the canopy when we visited. Particular highlights were the blue poison dart frogs and the fascinating armadillo! We were able to identify how plants were adapted to their environment, from having vast surface areas, to cleverly designed ‘drip tips’ to ensure water flows smoothly off their surfaces. Everyone had a wonderful day and it is amazing to experience ‘Amazon-like’ conditions without leaving England!

Brazilian Dance Workshop

To link with our Geography topic, studying the rainforests of Brazil, we had the exciting opportunity to have a dance workshop. We talked about the importance of Carnival and looked at colourful costumes worn in Rio. As you can see, we got the opportunity to wear some sparkly head-dresses of our own! Our teachers were delighted with how we all through ourselves into it, learning Samba, funk and African combinations that have made Carnival Dance so unique!
