WAU

Our topic is ‘Impact’, focusing on Rainforest life. The children will be developing knowledge and skills in various areas of the curriculum – in art drawing and painting scenes of the Rainforest and animals found there, designing and creating Rainforest shelters, using ICT skills to research facts about life in the Rainforest and deforestation. Outdoor learning will take place where appropriate.
