Today we went to the rain forest centre in Newbury. It was amazing and we had a great tour from a lady about all the edible things. From coffee and vanilla to insects, rodents, birds and even turtles!
My favourite part was the Sloth.
The fish were incredible, so big!
We learned about the symbiotic relationship between agouti and the brazil nut tree (google it, it's cool) and how over hunting is causing problems.
We learned a little about climate and the four different layers of the rainforest, as well as animal adaptations that allow them to live there.
It's a great centre, with a wide range of work sheets to keep little ones interested. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
