RAINFORESTS

Summary

This project will allow pupils around the world to share their learning experiences about the Rainforest. Our aims are: to increase understanding of the important role played by the rainforest in the ecology of the world; to raise pupils' awareness of why this should be protected; to raise understanding of the differences and similarities in the lives of pupils around the world to increase pupils' opportunities to exchange knowledge, ideas and experiences with peers to increase ICT skills to offer real opportunities for writing, art, science and global citizenship

Sinharajah Rain Forest in Sri Lanka

These are some pictures of flora and fauna of rain forest in Sri Lanka, from Vincent Girls' High School, Batticaloa, Srilanka

Pupils from Balmuildy Primary visited a local visitor centre which recreates the rainforest, with animals and plants which are typical of those found in the rainforest. We took lots of photos and hope you enjoy looking at our experiences while we were there.

Perhaps our friends who live in countries where such animals live could post some photographs or drawings or descriptions for us in Scotland to see.
