Take your class on an unforgettable journey into one of the world’s most fascinating ecosystems with this engaging, interactive and curriculum-linked Lower Key Stage 2 geography assembly.

When a mysterious old book in the school library magically transports a group of Year 3 and Year 4 pupils into the heart of a rainforest, they meet incredible animals, towering trees, colourful plants and the people who depend on the forest for their lives. As they explore this vibrant environment, they discover how every living thing is connected and why rainforests are so important to our planet. When the rainforest comes under threat from deforestation and pollution, the children work together to find practical ways to protect it and inspire others to care for the natural world.

Designed specifically for Lower Key Stage 2, this ready-to-perform assembly combines exciting storytelling with engaging geographical learning, helping children understand ecosystems, conservation and the importance of protecting one of Earth’s most valuable environments.
