Geography
The children of year 3 will learn what a rainforest is and what type of climate to
expect. They will be able to identify the different layers in a rainforest and name some
typical plants and animals that live there. They will explore the key physical and human
features and learn about people who live in the Amazon Rainforest. Children will compare
and contrast the local ancient woodland of Middleton Woods and The Amazon Rainforest
to identify key similarities and differences. Finally, children will learn about humans' negative impact on their environment.
You can help your child by visiting your local library and reading books on this topic.
