On Monday, the Year 5/6 classes got a taste of what it would be like to live in an area hit by deforestation.  The classes had spent a number of days perfecting pictures of the Amazon rainforest to go on display at the end of the term, only to come back after break to find that the loggers had come through and shredded their work to turn into wood chips. The classes had to watch as a logger and an uncaring explorer slowly fed their work into the chipper, giving the children the chance to, in some way, understand how indigenous tribes must feel when their trees are cut down.
