On Monday we had an amazing day because we got to go on a coach to visit the Botanical Gardens. For the first part of the morning we worked in the class room and done some fun activities. We labelled the parts of a plant, then Janis dressed up as a bee and the other children had props to help them act as though they were parts of a plant. We learnt how the plant parts attract a bee and what happens when it gets the pollen out of it.

Next we worked in a small group and we had different plants that we got to take apart and place these next to the correct label. This bit was fun because we got our hands muddy and dirty.

In the afternoon we went around the glass houses where we saw some incredible plants. We saw lots of different plants that were all different sizes, my favourite was the spiky plants, these are called cactus. Also I liked the rubber tree, I even saw a lemon the size of my head. I couldn’t believe it.

What a fun day and I hope I we can go there again.
