Year 3 enjoyed a very creepy crawly start to their topic on the Rainforest when 'The Rainforest Man' visited and showed them a variety of insects and reptiles that live in the rainforest. The children were very brave and touched many of them as well as learning lots of facts to answer questions on their topic wall.
