Rainforest Assembly or Class Play
Cast of 30 - easily adaptable up or down
Duration - around 20 minutes (depending on amount of music used)
This assembly looks at the most amazing rainforest of them all - appropriately named, The Amazonian Rainforest. With a cast featuring poisonous frogs, blood-sucking bats, howling monkeys, giant spiders - you could be forgiven for thinking it’s an early Halloween script! But the message behind this assembly is far more serious - looking at what we could be losing - around half the world's animal and plant species - if we sit back and allow these magnificent forests to be destroyed.
Sample Text:
All Frogs: (Together) We’re the Poison Arrows
Narrator: (Interrupting) Well, I’ve heard of the Red Arrows
All Frogs: (Angrily) No, we’re the Poison Arrow Frogs!
(Enter Howler Monkey)
Howler Monkey: How ribbetting!
Narrator: Hey! Wait a minute! And who are you? This stage is getting mighty crowded all of a sudden and I’m meant to be in charge of who comes on and who goes off!
Howler Monkey: Begging your pardon, but I’m Howler Monkey! Here to drop some right ‘howlers’ today, liven things up a bit!
Narrator: I hardly think we need things livening up!
(Turning to Tribesmen)
I do apologise for these interruptions!
Poison Arrow Frog 1: Huh! If there’s any apologising to be done it should be by that lot to us!
Narrator: (Sighing) Please explain!
Poison Arrow Frog 2: Well, they take our poison
Howler Monkey: And use it to kill innocent creatures like me!
Tribesman 2: (Shrugging shoulders) Listen! It’s nothing personal. But we have to eat, to stay alive, just like you!

Want a fun and engaging way to teach food chains at KS1? This sequencing science craft activity is hands-on alternative to a food chains worksheet. Children can construct a 4-stage food chains for 3 different habitats - a woodland, ocean/sea and a rainforest.
For each habitat, there are 4 options included:
Colour the pre-designed template, with animals and plants already included, cut out the template, and fold.
Colour the food chain, sequence the animals/plants to show who eats who, glue them onto the template, cut and fold.
Children draw their own food chain on a black and white template, cut and fold.
Pupils draw their own food chain on a pre-coloured template, cut and fold.
Once folded, pupils can hide their food chain by bringing the 2 halves of the template together, then gently pull apart to reveal the inside.
There is minimal prep required. Print the designs you plan to use on paper or card. Pupils need coloured pencils and scissors. One template in each habitat set requires glue.
Instructions for how to fold are included (you may wish to make an example beforehand for those who might find folding tricky).
This resource is 17 pages long and contains a version for both UK and US paper sizes.
