On their recent visit to Kew Gardens, Year 3 observed the dry, arid space populated by spiky cactus plants & noted the distinct change of temperature & humidity as they walked into the tropical Palm House. Those with glasses couldn't not notice; their glasses steamed up as soon as they walked in! Bilal noted, "This is definitely like the rainforest! It's hot and humid and wet." They then bravely ascended the many stairs that lead to the treetop walkway, which was very high up in the sky. At first a few children were nervous, but they conquered their fears and many commented how exciting it felt to be as high as the birds and, in the words of Gabriel, "like a monkey swinging from tree to tree in the emergent layer". As well as experiencing different environments and seeing lots of interesting and unusual plants, everyone got a lot of exercise! We looked at a pedometer and found out that we had walked 6 miles throughout the day.
