Year 5's trip to Chelsea Physic Garden

In year 5 we went to the Chelsea Physic Garden.We went on the tube to get there and walked the rest. We went into this classroom and the man told us things to do with plants. We then did some drawing in a booklet which had a chart. And then we went outside. We went in two different groups- one group went to put stuff on their sticky card and fill in the chart in their booklet and the other group learned about flowers somewhere else with a man, then we switched over.We had lunch outside and ran around for a bit. After we did that, we went back to the classroom and did some printing on clay with what we found outside. We went back outside to do some planting. Some people planted linseed, sweetcorn, peas and flowers. We then went back to the train and that was the end of our trip.

Well the continuing freezing weather has meant that the planting season has got off to a slow start. The daffodils are just about blooming but look out for the snow drops and crocuses around the big tree.

Children in the nursery and reception classes have been planting vegetables seeds which have been put in the greenhouse to keep the frost and cold off them. It may still be a bit cold for them to germinate so we all need to be patient.
