We completed our Chester Zoo Palm Oil Project. We talked about how important it is to protect the environment. We grew our rainforest and talked about what the orangutans need to survive there. We talked about what we can do to stop the orangutans from becoming endangered.

We celebrated World Book Day by visiting the Theatre Royal in St Helens. We watched Dear Zoo and enjoyed seeing a live performance. We also dressed up as our favourite book characters, and some of us chose to wear our pyjamas to snuggle up with a book from our class book swap.
