205, 203 and 206 are learning about the forest. While we were watching Planet Earth and noticing the different layers of the forest, we pointed out many predators and their prey. We also began to talk about how plants make their own energy from the Sun, while everything else that lives must eat to get its energy.

This game is about nature. It is about the forest. You can see lots of amazing animals. You can learn about the top of the tree, the middle, the bottom, and even the inside and top of a log. One of the best ones is a bird that says, “Drink your tea!!” You will experience the life of nature. This game is amazing.
