Rainforest Survival!

17th June 2022J Devlin

Y3 enjoyed a trek through Castle Eden forest focusing on similarities and differences between the tropical and UK forest – although at 26 degrees it was nearly as hot as a tropical forest!
Firstly we all went on a walk to look at lots of different trees, plants and woodland animals. We then moved onto a hunt for cards with different continents around the world and matched them up with different rainforests and climate descriptions. We finally moved deeper into the forest where we learnt life skills on survival in the rainforest! We enjoyed building our own dens and learning how to peg and tie ropes and sticks together! We had an amazing day!

Rainforest Trek!

2nd July 2021J Devlin

Y3 enjoyed a trek through the rainforest virtually with Oliver using VR headsets! WE could not believe how realistic it was and what we actually came across! We found many animal species, plants and trees. We then moved onto looking at the effects of deforestation on rainforests around the globe – it was amazing!

The Rainforest

Year 3 have been working extremely hard this week learning all about the rainforest. They have been drawing rainforest animals, creating poems, making posters and comparing lives of people who live in a rainforest with our own families. Well done to everyone who joined in our rainforest tasks.

Rainforest Picture Competition!

Y3 have been set a project by their teachers this week to research and create an information booklet of different Rainforests around the world – particularly looking at the meaning of deforestation, the animals, plants and habitats.

Today Mrs Langley set them all a Challenge as part of their Rainforest afternoon project…
Watch this space for pictures produced by our fabulous Y3 children at home of their favourite Rainforest animal!
We are loving the enthusiasm of all our Children and Parents – Thank You and we hope your enjoying your daily challenges!

Year 3’s first challenge was to draw and colour an animal from a rainforest. These are some of the fabulous drawings. We also had a fab effort from one of our year 5 students who wanted to join in the challenge. Well done everyone!

 

 

Drawing for Endangered Species

By D Robinson18th May 2016

The children at Harton Primary have been lucky enough to work with visiting artist Jane Lee McCracken. As part of a topic on the rainforests, Year 3 students then drew different animals from the rainforests.

They found out about their habitat and why they might be endangered. Jane thought the children were very talented and made a poster showing the drawings from the children. DFES Yr3 B Harton Primary 2016 (1)

Zoo Lab Visits Year 3

By P Steadman25th April 2016

In Year 3 we have been learning about The Amazon Rainforest this half term.  Today we were visited by Rob from Zoo Lab and he brought with him a range of animals that are found in the Amazon.  He brought in giant snails, a tarantula, a corn snake, a tree frog, cockroaches and giant millipedes for us to hold and touch.  He taught us about the animals habitats and diet and the effects of deforestation.
