Year 8 Explore Rainforest Ecosystems at Kew Gardens

Well done to all our Year 8 pupils who took part in last week’s trips to Kew Gardens, bringing their ‘Tropical Rainforests in Africa’ topic to life. In a hands-on workshop, they compared the lush, humid environment of the Palm House to the UK’s climate, deepening their understanding of rainforest ecosystems. They also explored Kew’s other glasshouses, looking at the different features of biomes, discovering the unique features of deserts and temperate forests. Throughout the day, pupils showed great curiosity and represented the school brilliantly.
