Episode 16 - Zico & The Greedy Witch

Zico & The Greedy Witch

Welcome to the next episode of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children of all ages.
 
This episode we venture into the Amazonian rainforest to hear a story from the Anambe people. You can find a version of today's tale, 'Ceuci the Witch who ate a lot' in this book: Amazonia - Indigenous Tales from Brazil

We'd also like to thank our lovely friend and fellow storyteller Sef Townsend for helping us with the Brazilian nursery rhyme.  Sef has been singing songs from lots of different cultures for many years to celebrate diversity and share common experiences.  He's recorded two lovely CDs - Singing with Mr Sef. To order them, just email  seflondon@gmail.com.  We have both Cds and we adore them!

Leo's activity this week is all about the layers of the rainforest.   Here is a cool video that shows you the layers!  Exploring Life within the Layers of the Rainforest.

And here is a useful fact file where you can read more about the layers.  You can now create your own fact file or draw the different layers and the animals that live on each one. What other animals live in the Amazon rainforest?

Finally, if you like our podcast and would like to donate a little something to keep us going, we would be so grateful.  You can donate to Dragonfly Tales Podcast by clicking here: DONATE
