Welcome to Year Four’s Brilliant Blog!

Hello! Happy New Year and welcome to Year Four’s class blog!

This term we will be learning all about the Rainforest – where can you find rainforests? why are they in danger? Which animals live there? How do you find the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn on a globe? I have booked two exciting trips for our class – to London Zoo on January 16th and Kew Gardens in the second half term.

What do you know about the rainforest? Leave your answer in the comments below…

      Donald Trump’s Wig

      This animal is one of the most bizarre things you can come across in nature- Is it a fruit? A bird? A mammal? No- it’s a caterpillar of a megalopygid moth. But don’t be fooled by the nice, yellow fuzzy appearance, the hairs on this are full of urticating spines that can inject a very painful poison if touched

  12. RYAN says:

    I fond a new Rain forest call the Basket Cocoon

    Humans have such lame growth into adulthood: The incredible woven lattice structure of the urodid moth’s cocoon is an astounding example of art in nature. The cocoon dangles from a silken string about a foot long, likely to prevent ants from feeding on it, and the bright orange color can serve as a warning to potential predators that this cocoon may be poisonous to eat. The adult moth eventually emerges from the pupa, resting inside, and exits through the small tubular ‘escape hatch’ at the bottom of the structure
