Year 1 trip to Kew Gardens!

Wow! We had such a fantastic time and the sun shone all day for us 🙂

After a long journey by train from Camden Road to Kew Gardens, we arrived and straight away knew we were in for a treat!!

First we visited the Palm House, which has lots of different plants that grow in very hot places in the world, like the Amazon Rainforest. We saw bananas growing, leaves bigger than us and even a 3D movie about phytoplankton (tiny single celled plants that live in the oceans).

Next we went to the Waterlily Pond, and Dylan’s group spotted a giant toad in the water, “ribbit, ribbit!”

After that we walked through the Rock Garden (we had to beware of the troll hiding under the bridge, but luckily he must have been asleep).

Lunch was great; we sat outside on round tables and benches. Then we had time to play in the adventure playground and the ‘Creepers and Climbers’ room.

Our next adventure was to visit the treetop walkway. It ws so high and we felt like we were in Jurrasic Park! Eventhough it was a bit scary for some people, everyone was brave and had a go.

Finally, we walked back to the station to get the train back. Some of us took the opportunity to have a little nap as the day was super fun, but also a bit tiring.

We hope you enjoy our pictures!
