In The Jungle ~ Our Classroom

Just in case anybody missed our open evening, here are a few pictures of our classroom jungle. We worked really hard on our jungle. In these pictures you can see examples of our annotated maps and some extended writing. It took a few days to write our stories but we think they are really good. You can see our little gibbon, Gabu hanging in the canopy. He went home with a different child each night. The boys and girls were very good at giving an oral report of what Gabu had been doing when they brought him back.

Our Orangutan wall makes a lovely display for our writing about orangutans.

We had to work together to paint our orangutan but then thought he would be even better if we used wool to make him feel nice and soft. He looks good too.

Underneath the orangutan a few of our annotated diagrams of tigers are prowling. We found tigers very interesting and even wrote poems about them.

We liked using paper mache to build our peacock, then painted him. Some of his feathers are real.

Our panda gave us lots of inspiration to write the descriptive sentences which are displayed around him.

Our tree of excellence was made up of bananas that described the ways we have shown ourselves to be confident individuals, responsible citizens, effective contributors and successful learners. We discussed our learning each week before writing our bananas. We hope that you enjoy looking at our jungle as much as we have enjoyed working on it and learning about the endangered animals. We would be very interested to hear what you think. You can let us know by leaving a comment, thank you.
