=media type="custom" key="21265648"= Mrs Thomas reads The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry ||=  ||= ======The giant kapok tree is a monster of the rainforest. Most rainforest plants and trees have very shallow roots. To anchor them more firmly in the ground, many rainforest trees have buttress roots around the bottom of the trunk for support. The native peoples of the rainforest pound on the roots of the kapok tree as if they were playing a drum. The loud booming noices are a way to communicate through the dense jungle.====== ||=  ||=   ||
