In this session children take the image of their Australian Rainforest animal printed in the previous session and use it as a starting point for a pastel picture.

Children think about the animals that they know come from Australia and then find out if they live in any of its rainforest regions. Children then look at a list of Australian rainforest animals, and print an image from the computer.

In this session children find out that it’s not only the Orangu-tans that are endangered. Children select animals or plants from the lists provided and start to find out more about their chosen animal or plant.
