Year 2 at Kew Gardens

On Thursday 20th April, Year 2 went on a school trip to Kew Gardens. We took part in a 'Plant Hunters' activity where
we had to investigate the different types of flowers, trees and other plants that come from different countries and can
also be found in Kew Gardens. We also looked at how plants and trees grow and survive in different habitats. We were
taken on a tour of Kew Gardens, looking at the glass and the palm house and even got to play in the children's
playground! It was a great day and linked wonderfully to our Science learning.
Sponsored Bounce

Much bouncing and counting was done, and much fun was had, during the Sponsored Bounce on Wednesday.
