After our visit to RHS Wisley, how would you describe nature?

We have had an amazing day at RHS Wisley, where the children in Year 6 explored many different types of plants linked to our Science and Geography topics. The autumnal colours were truly glorious. They found out more about how plants adapt to their environment, which has been our Science topic this half term. They also began learning about Classification, which is our topic after half term. Visiting the glass house inspired some very detailed sketching to take place and all of the children enjoyed drawing a variety of different plants from different biomes all over the world. Of course, the tropical zone allowed the children to experience a little of what the rainforest is like, which forms a large part of our Geography topic about Brazil. Each child also was able to take a cutting from a rainforest plant, plant it then take it home, as an added bonus. A great day!
