Science Class

It is sure taking us a long time to get through this section in science!

Tomorrow we are going to be looking at the Borneo Swamps in southeast Asia. They have some unique plants and animals!

First of all, have you ever seen these trees? They are called Mangrove Trees and live right in the water!

In these trees, live a whole variety of wildlife.

We are going to look at the proboscis monkeys tomorrow too. They are the monkeys with the great big noses, it says the bigger the noses, the more attractive they are to females!!
