It’s your lucky day! Watch the daily video above for a sneak preview of a science lesson we’ll be doing in a few weeks. As part of this lesson, Year 4 will be adopting a rhino!

The video explains everything you need to know to start preparing for this. All you need to do is ask your friends and family to sponsor you for walking. When we have all walked far enough, we can gather our sponsorship money and use it to adopt a rhino!
