Today, Year 5 enjoyed a trip out to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
On arrival in the morning we were quickly introduced to a variety of animals living in the rainforest across the world. We learnt about materials harvested and used in the rainforest and reflected on why the rainforest is such a vital ecosystem for humans.



We then had the opportunity to handle some exotic animals which can be found in tropical rainforest areas. Some of us were a little scared but brave volunteers handled stick insects, corn snakes and bearded dragons.





After a much-needed lunch, we set out on an expedition through many different climates contained within the glass greenhouses. Here we found an amazing range of plants suited to the many climates found on our planet.


Moving through the afternoon, we explored an adventure playground area and many different plants suited to the rainy English weather.

Well done on brilliant discussion and behaviour throughout the day Year 5!
