✨🌿When Year 2 visited Kew Gardens recently, it wasn't just a fun day out, it was a hands-on way to embed their "Scented Garden" classroom topic. By exploring real tropical rainforests in the Palm House and examining desert plants up close, the children truly deepened their understanding of how nature adapts to different environments.
