This afternoon it is time for you to investigate and begin your own project. Please do not rush this - it would be good if you could look after your work as we would like to display it on the board in the corridor when we get back to school! I have given you some links above to help your investigation.

You can choose your own aspect of the Amazon Rainforest to explore - something you find interesting. This could be about:

• the animals 
• the layers of the rainforest
• the plants
• the Amazon River
• the countries in South America which the Amazon is in
• the people who live in the Amazon
• all about why we need rainforests in our world
• deforestation for logging and farmland
• or something else you feel drawn to! 

You may want to draw, colour or paint something which is related to the rainforest, and you might need to do some research first so that your work is as good as you can make it - perhaps find a picture to copy? If you want to make a factsheet, or include writing too - that will be super. Spend some time getting your ideas together so that you really know what you want to do! 

We will be continuing with this tomorrow, so don't worry if you do not finish - please DO NOT rush! Take your time and make it gorgeous! You can always use some time next week to finish it off.

SPAG - Spelling, Punctuation And Grammar

These are some good Youtube videos to help you improve your vocabulary - knowing what words mean is the key skill to all of your lifelong learning.
