Grade Five has been investigating the biodiversity of rainforests this term. The students were keen to learn how we urban dwellers can take action to protect and nurture the rainforest species which are still found in the region.
What better place to inquire, than on our own roof with some of the students who are running the Rainforest Restoration project. The Grade Five students took a tour and were able to find out how the project will help to ensure the longevity of endangered native tree species.
The Grade Five students noticed the fact that, although the seedlings were growing in pots on the roof, the Grade Eleven and Twelve students had made sure the area had similarities to the rainforest (Grade Five visited the rainforest of Taman Negara this term, so they were experts!!). They noticed that care had been taken with the soil, watering system and the shade cloth to make the environment feel very similar to that of the rainforest. A great learning experience!
