West Lynn Gardens Trip 22.11.12

 Hi Parents and Caregivers,

Today was Room 22's trip to West Lynn Gardens. We really enjoyed the day and would like to say a big thank you to the parents who helped on the trip.

During the day at West Lynn Gardens we had activities to do with the topic 'Green Fingers'. Our activities were:

1. Design and draw a garden made out of recycled materials. We all designed this in our topic books and then presented it to the class. Most of us learnt to use our loud teacher voice :).

2. We went into the butterfly house and had to sketch a chrysalis, a caterpillar, a weed, an unusal flower, two different shaped leaves, and we got to choose one thing we found interesting in the butterfly house to draw.

3. We went on a scavenger hunt around the gardens and find: an ant, a butterfly, a flower bud, a seed pod, garden tools, a compost bin, a garden sculpture, red leaves, yellow flowers, a pine cone, a leaf the size of our hands, a worm, a weed, a ladybug, a pine cone, a feather, a clover leaf, a vine, a daisy, a fruit, The letter w, a bumble bee and a birds nest.

4. Having lunch (YUM YUM).

And finally at the end of the trip we walked back to school. What a good day!

Thank you, Room 22
