Hi Miss Nicols, it’s Sam’s mum here.

Thank you so much for the lessons this week. It’s been a huge improvement on the last  lockdown to have the live teaching time and the added structure of the daily work. I’m sure it’s taken loads of your time to put it all together so thank you!

One request from me… is there any way that the timetable for each day and the work sheets could be uploaded slightly earlier in the mornings, or even the night before? I’m supposed to start work at 8.30 each day but am currently spending the first chunk of what should be my working day making sure that all the links work for Sam, printing sheets out etc.

I realise that you’re  probably trying to work and home school at the same time too, so if it’s not possible to change this, don’t worry. I just thought it’d be worth asking in case it’s easy for you to do and could make a big difference for me.

Thanks so much again, have a good weekend (I think we all earned it!)

Hello Mr Robins, Ms Nicols and Venus class!

Hope you are having a great weekend.  This is our rainbow requested by Mr Robins during the assembly.  He talked about a rainbow being a sign of hope and read a book to us.  Let’s hope this pandemic goes away soon so that we all go back to our classrooms.  See you on Monday!

Rainforests are forests characterized by high and continuous rainfall, with annual rainfall in the case of tropical rainforests between 2.5 and 4.5 metres (98 and 177 in)[1] and definitions varying by region for temperate rainforests. The monsoon trough, alternatively known as the intertropical convergence zone, plays a significant role in creating the climatic conditions necessary for the Earth‘s tropical rainforests: which are distinct from monsoonal areas of seasonal tropical forest.

Estimates vary from 40% to 75% of all biotic species are indigenous to the rainforests.[2] There may be many millions of species of plants, insects and microorganisms still undiscovered in tropical rainforests. Tropical rainforests have been called the “jewels of the Earth” and the “world’s largest pharmacy“, because over one quarter of natural medicines have been discovered there.[3] Rainforests are also responsible for 28% of the world’s oxygen turnover, sometime
