YEAR 3 - KEW GARDENS

Year 3 couldn’t wait to finally go to Kew Gardens! We had been learning about it for weeks, studying advertisements for Kew Gardens and writing persuasive letters to Mrs Girle to allow us to go on this trip. This meant we knew what to expect and what to look out for when we arrived. It was even better than we expected. We loved exploring the state of the art glasshouses and all the exotic plants inside. We were lucky because there was a fantastic Orchid festival on in one of the glasshouses. The weather was beautiful, which meant we could rest our legs and have a picnic outside with our friends. To tie in with our recent Science unit on plants, we took part in an educational workshop where we got to pollinate flowers with paintbrushes!
