Everyone welcome! # Rainforest Habitat Diorama- D.T-Year 5 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_6227.JPG) 12 July 2022 Today the children in Year 5 have been busy making their 3D structures of the Rainforest. They have first used water-based paint to paint the inside of the box to create a rainforest background. They also made some ferns, philodendrons, trees, butterflies and rainforest animals using plain paper or crepe paper whilst waiting for the paint to dry. Tightly twisted strips of green crepe paper to make jungle vines. To add that extra detail they used - small rocks, twigs, dried leaves, and other materials from nature to add texture to their diorama. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_6227.JPG) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [Design Technology](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/design-technology) [Art and Design](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/art-and-design) [Climate action / Sustainability](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/climate-action-sustainability) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/1FCB5945-B562-4A7D-972F-06639DCB11B8.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-11-witton-athletics-winners) Previous ### [Witton Athletics Winners ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-11-witton-athletics-winners) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/C7838020-F6AF-4366-97D0-44FB3DCDBF17.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-13-year-4-dance) Next ### [Year 4 - Dance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2022-07-13-year-4-dance) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
