Dinosaurs lived over

The Argentinosaurus

size of a rugby ball
and it would have
probably taken over
40 years to grow to
a full sized adult.
Amazonia was a
country, it would be
the ninth largest in
the world. The
Amazon Rainforest
has been described
as the “ lungs of our
planet “ because it
provides oxygen to
the Earth.

about the Great
Outdoors. This
reaches out to P.E in
which we are
attempting different
dancing styles and
composing a dance to
water sounds.

evolution, Charles
Darwin and the lifecycles of plants. Our
