Year 4 - Kew Gardens

Year 4 enjoyed a wonderful day at Kew gardens.

We had the opportunity to wander through beautiful glasshouses such as the iconic Palm House, home to an exotic rainforest; explore different climate zones at the Princess of Wales Conservatory but sadly we did not have the chance to be amazed by the giant lily pads at the Waterlily House as the attraction was closed

We bravely climbed many flights of sairs for a bird’s-eye view of the gardens along the 18-metre high Treetop Walkway.

We all enjoyed floral displays from more than 60,000 plants along the Great Broad Walk Borders and the 14,000 trees in the colourful Arboretum.

The gardens also include the ornate Great Pagoda and Kew Palace – the former summer residence of King George III, which is open in the summer months.

Fortunately the sun was shining and despite a lot of walking, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day and gained a lot from the experience
