Let's help Dr Rose and Manu! We can group the animals by classifying them as mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. Use the information from the videos to help you sort the rainforest animals into these categories. It's up to you how you present this you could print the photos and sort them into groups or you could draw/write them into a table.
