Check out this wonderful art display and thread of thoughtful questions from 8 yr olds at my local primary school. I’m going to see them next week - ‘rainforests’ is a BIG topic so I suggested to put some Qs in a thread so I could reach out to other experts - pls answer, tag, RT
P4 have been learning about the rainforest and are incredibly excited to have an opportunity to talk with a 'rainforest expert' next week. We have been learning about why the rainforests are important and would love to find out more about what we can do to protect them.
