**Welcome to the Amazon Rainforest **
 [|Click here for a virtual tour.] You have been learning about the rainforest and how lots of people have been destroying the beautiful rainforest to make money from the land. Here are some of the things they have been doing –    This has resulted in many of the animal’s losing their natural habitat and some are even becoming endangered species. Class 3/4B and 3/4M are concluding their studies with a trip to Monkey World. You and your classmates are to become ‘EXPLORERS’ at Monkey World. Your job will be to explore the animals, and plants that live there and bring back information about some of the species. You will be able to use the internet for your research. When you have gathered your information you will need to make a report using just2easy. The most interesting reports will be placed on the school intranet to share with everyone. Don’t forget to use pictures and special effects. Write in complete sentences in your own words. Please don’t copy and paste lots of text from web pages.
