As part of our learning about the Amazon Rainforest and life cycles, we visited the Butterfly House in Williamson Park today. We looked at the different stages of the life cycle of a butterfly and found out more about how some animals are adapted to life in different environments. We even got to stroke a bearded dragon and a tortoise. The day linked well to our Amazon rainforest learning and we compared the layers of plants in the woodland to the rainforest layers. We even had a heavy downpour of rain to make us feel like we were really in the rainforest!
