There's A Rumble In The Jungle!

This term we are focussing on what it would be like to be in the jungle!

We looked at a selection of Rousseau paintings and asked the children to imagine that they were walking through one of them - what might they see and hear? How would they feel? Is there anything they would like to find out about the jungle?

This is what some of them said . . . 

Leo - "There's gorillas there, crocodiles, hippos - I would look scared, because there's crocodiles there!"

Kendra - "Maybe snakes and lions in the trees, a giraffe and a rainbow"

Joe - "Might be tigers - I know a tiger song, I saw it on Nanny's telly. What do lions and tigers and leopards eat?"

Isabel C - "I think there would be flowers and animals like giraffes and growling from the bears and it would be sunny. What flowers grow?"

Everyone loved the story of 'Rumble in the Jungle' - we had lots of fun moving like the different animals and using the percussion instruments to represent them!

Aisha's favourite animal would be a snake - she thought it would need some "food and a drink" - "Otherwise he will be hungry and thirsty!" 

Ella said her favourite would be the giraffe - she thought he would need some "grass and giraffe food" and told us "When I went to the Safari Park I feed the giraffes some giraffe food"

What do you think it would be like to go for a walk through the jungle? Let us know!
