Term 2 Rich Topic – The Rainforest

Our Rich Topic for Term 2 is The Rainforest. Heaps of fun activities and trips have already happened with more to come!

Week 1 saw the creation of our fantastic Rainforest Room by our Rich Topic team. Each class witnessed the amazing sights and sounds of the rainforest.

Week 3 – Scavenger Hunt – The children enjoyed completing this with their Buddy Class

Week 4 – Our Rainforest dress up day organised by the Student Council is on Friday May 25th (as long as the cross country is not postponed to this day). Dress up in a Rainforest themed costume for the day – perhaps an animal, bird, fish or plant? A Rainforest Music/Dance Assembly is also planned for Friday 25th May 12pm.

Week 6 – Art Assembly Friday 8th June. All classes will present either a whole class or sample set of artworks related to the Rainforest.

Week 9 – Home Learning/Living Museum – This is planned for Wednesday 27th June. Although it is not compulsory, children are encouraged to create a Rainforest project together or separately at home and base it around something they already know or they can research some new learning. It can be as little or big as they want. Ideas include power point (to be printed out), triorama, diorama, poster, sculpture, art creation, lego or any other ideas. Completed projects to come to school on Tuesday 26th June and can be viewed by parents Wednesday 27th June 2:30 to 3:00pm. The hall will look amazing with lots of contributions.

Week 10 – Classroom Walkaround – This is planned for Friday 6th July. A great opportunity for the students AND teachers to see some of the amazing topic related work that has taken place at different syndicate levels.
