Winners of our Rainforest in a Box competition announced!

Winners
Ages 6-9
Zoé Jarvis, Age 9, Bedfordshire
“I particularly like the parrots I made of half a wooden clothes peg and some paper. Woburn Safari Park’s parrots inspired me to make these (did you know there’s one called Zoe?).”
Ages 10-14
Sebastian Bada, Age 11, Bournemouth
“I enjoyed working on rainforest in a box very much, especially learning about layers of rainforest and incredible animals living there. I am very proud of the background because it creates an illusion of the depth of the forest.”
Runners-up
Ages 6-9
Angelos Kopitsas, Age 9, Whiteley
“I really enjoyed making my rainforest in a box as we had learnt about tropical rainforests at school. I liked making the trees and winding the string around them to make lianas and the animals such as the sloth. I went and collected moss and leaves from the woods for the forest floor.”
Ages 10-14
Harrison Gallagher, Age 11, Hitchin
“I enjoyed making the rainforest. I especially enjoyed learning about the different layers and the animals that lived in each.”
