More Layers in our Rainforest

Last Thursday we welcomed Dylan into Room 3.

On Friday we made foliage (leaves) for the CANOPY
and UNDERSTORY in our rainforest.


We used two different art techniques. The first technique was painting. We blended different shades of green and yellow paint again which we're getting really good at. Dylan is doing a great job on his second day of school.



The second technique was collage. We tore different types and shades of green paper into small pieces then glued them onto leaf shapes.




Don't you think the leaves make the different layers in our rainforest look pretty cool?



We made snakes last Wednesday afternoon at Buzzy Bees. Snakes live on the FOREST FLOOR, in the UNDERSTORY and in the CANOPY. Wow!
Snakes have amazing patterns on their bodies so they are well camouflaged. This means they blend in really well so their prey don't see them coming. You better look carefully when you check out our rainforest... just in case you're being watched!



Come back soon for some awesome writing about the rainforest from the team in Room 3.
