Script:

00.00 - 04.00 (Walking and talking)

Talk about the rainforest and what we might see.

What are the essentials that we need to make sure that we’ve packed?

What happens if we forget these essentials? Sunglasses, water, sun cream, food.

04.00 - 08.30 (Monkeys)

Rumour has it that some monkeys live around this area of the rainforest..

05.10 - Monkeys come in

Can anyone hear what that noise is? 

Look, we’ve arrived at the monkeys! Shall we sit here quietly for a few minutes and watch them swing around the trees?

Who can tell me what monkeys like to eat?

Make sure to have a quick rest if you need to. It’s a good idea to have a drink too. Don’t worry if you drink all of your water. We can use our maps to find the waterfall to refill.

08.00 - 

I think we should give the monkeys some peace now. Are we ready to move on?

Sound of sticks snapping as we walk.

Keep your ears open for any birds that you hear and tell us when you think you can hear them!

The birds in the rainforest are magical and if you treat the rainforest with respect, the birds will lead you to the enchanted waterfall.

08.30 - 

Remember I said to tell me when you hear the birds. I have heard that if you follow the sound of the birds they will guide you to the most beautiful waterfall in all of the rainforest.

9.40 - I think I hear birds! Shall we follow the noise this way?


11.00 - The birds are getting louder aren’t they? Let’s follow them and see if they lead us to the waterfall.


11.30 - I may be wrong but I think I can hear water… Let’s keeping moving and following the birds


12.30 - We’re here! Look how beautiful it is. Who’s going for a swim?

Let people fill up their water bottles and wash their faces
If you look closely can you see any fishes in the water?

16.00 - There’s a beautiful waterfall down the river which we can swim to and play with the rocks and pebbles. Let’s go there now

18.00 - Can you hear the birds? That means we’re getting close. There’s lots of birds at the waterfall.

22.00 - Who would like to play with the rocks and pebbles? There’s lots of sand too.


25.00 - It’s starting to get late and I can see the sun setting in the sky so it’s going to be dark soon. Shall we find somewhere comfy to pitch our tents so we can camp out for the night.

Has anyone got any ideas as to what we need when we camp?
Has anyone slept in a tent before?

27.50 - The waterfall is calming down after the rain now. It sounds like a very peaceful place to sleep.

2.00 - We’re going to walk across the desert sand! If you want to you can take your shoes and socks off so you can feel the sand between your toes


7.00 - Get ready for wind! Turn on a fan or wave a sheet/parachute. Pretend to be blowing around the room.
7.30 - Be careful if you’re wearing a hat, it can get very windy in the desert! 



10.00 - It’s so windy here! Maybe we should keep walking across the desert until we find some camels we can ride. This will make it much easier in the wind


12.00 - If you can hear birds that means we’re getting close to the shaded canyon where we can have a drink and swim in the water if we want to.


12.30 - I can hear the birds which means we can’t be far from the canyon.


15.35 - There are some shepherds at the canyon feeding their camels.


18.00 - I can tell it’s starting to get late as the crickets and owls are coming out. Can you hear them? We should walk to a nice spot to pitch our tent for the night

21.30 - Can you hear the owls? It’s definitely time to pitch the tent up.

23.00 - It’s a windy night tonight

27.00 - It gets very cold in the desert at night when the sun has set and the moon is out. We need to wrap up warm and zip our tents up right to the top.
