Year 6 have been exploring the sounds of the rainforest in our music lesson this week. We listened to a rainforest soundtrack and identified the sounds we could hear. In groups, we then made a sound map and used body percussion, voices and percussion instruments to create a rainforest soundscape.

This week, Year 5 have been putting their creativity and research skills to the test by planning and writing their very own Amazon Rainforest Survival Guides.
From deadly predators to poisonous fruits, the children explored the challenges of surviving in one of the world’s most extreme environments. They thought carefully about the skills, equipment and knowledge needed to stay safe, and presented their ideas through engaging writing filled with detail and imagination.
