To further their knowledge & interest in their class topic of rainforests, Year 3 visited Kew Gardens. They were in awe of the exotic Palm House (built in the Victorian period, they noted), and especially by how hot and humid it was inside, just like the rainforest. Those wearing glasses couldn’t see for a few seconds as their glasses steamed up due to the sudden change in temperature! They enjoyed climbing the winding stairs to the ‘canopy’ area. One child said, “it’s like I’m a monkey, swinging from tree to tree!” Another added, “I loved seeing the rainforest plants; it really felt like we were stepping into the rainforest.” The children also walked further than they probably ever have, clocking up a total of 21,000 steps, or just over 10km!

Ava 3T - I loved the bridge, it was so high! I was a little bit scared though. I also liked the big greenhouse, it was hot and humid just like a real rainforest! There was lots of plants and trees in there. I had a good day with my friends.
Lexi 4K(used to be in 3T - Looks like you had so much fun! Louise, i was very scared too it was very tall. The rainforest is very hot, I did some research, it says that the Amazon Rainforest costs about £975 billion to a eye-watering 3,589 billion! But we need to STOP deforestation, more animals are losing their homes! Sadly, The Amazon has been on fire!
Miss Patel - What a wonderful day that was! My favourite part was definitely the Palm House because I was amazed with how they made it look like a real rainforest. I loved the banana tree and the tall bamboo plants because you don’t usually get bananas growing in the UK. I also loved the treetop walk, the view from the top was breathtaking ?

Jannat 3T - We were learning about the rainforest that's why we went there, to learn more about it. I found out that rainforest places are hot and it feels like you can't really breathe. The plants grow big because there is lots of water and sun.
Louise 3T - I was quite scared when we climbed up the big bridge and it was scary, but my best friend Soraya was there and I wasn't scared anymore
Samuel 3T - We walked in the trees, it was high but I looked down anyway
