Today was just a perfect day to leave Phuket and .......
fly to the .........THE AMAZON JUNGLE!
There was great excitement as they went through passport control once again, got their passports stamped, flew and landed in the amazon jungle!
Once again ,having landed, the children decided on an animal that lived in the jungle and we then moved our classroom around accordingly ....... a family of sloths, a school of piranha, two lonesome panthers, a butterfly, a colony of bats and a green anaconda.
Luckily for us the rain lifted for a few moments so we were on our way to explore THE AMAZON JUNGLE ( For real? asks a little soul!)...
The children had come armed with binoculars, mozzie repellant walking sticks and some sunscreen.
We left the car park and walked down to the varsity fields and pretended that we were in the Amazon! The children played along beautifully.

| Was that a sloth? |
 |
| A beautiful feather from a ........toucan? |
 |
| Looking to find the King Vulture or a Harpy Eagle |
 |
| Definitely a snake! |
 |
| They saw the eyes of a panther ! |
 |
| And then of course we saw a real live toad buried in a hole! |

 |
| All forests are rich in vines ... look how long this one stretches |
 |
| A resting place! |
 |
(Ottie and Connor found out that this bench was erected in the same year as the Tsunami)
|
 |
| A beautiful arch to bid us farewell |
 |
| And as in the jungle loads of marshy spots! |
 |
| A special mushroom found as we were leaving |
A great start to another exciting fun filled learning experience in grade 2.
