Summary:
Year 5 went to Kew Gardens to explore and experience the rainforest environemnt. Whilst there we were taken on a guided tour of the Palm house, where the children were taught about the different vegetation and products the rainforest produces. A classroom based activity then allowed the children to touch, taste and smell different offerings from the rainforest. The gardens themselves are amazing and the children enjoyed exploring and learning about all the different environments on show in the houses and grounds.
Venue:
Kew Gardens
A fantastic outdoor learning resource.
Benefit:
The rainforests
Plus points:
The tree top walk is a great way to experience what it is like living up in the tall trees. The chidlren learn about life high in the canopy as they walk along the walkway reading the information.
The Palm House is an amazing rainforest environement where the children can experience what it feels like to be there.
The lunch box is a fantastic indoor space for the children to have their lunch at tables with hand washing facilities, toilets and a variety of bins where the children have to think about what they are throwing away.
