Event - Year 5 at the Botanical Gardens

22 January 2025

Year 5 went on a trip to the Botanical Gardens to enrich their Rainforest topic.

During this trip, the children got to explore plants from different climates such as arid deserts, temperate forests, Japanese gardens and the warm Mediterranean climate.

We spent a while exploring the plants found in the tropical rainforest and completed a treasure hunt activity, exploring some of these plants, their names and uses. Did you know that we get medicine from many of the plants found in the rainforest?

We especially loved seeing a real banana plant.
