Year 5 Botanic Gardens Excursion

Year 5 Botanic Gardens Excursion

The Year 5 students embarked on an exciting excursion to the majestic Botanic Gardens on April 7th, where they deepened their understanding of plant and animal adaptations. Guided by the wonderfully entertaining Phil, students were captivated by his extensive knowledge of how plants and animals are interconnected and rely on one another for propagation.

From learning about “bat spat” to exploring the impressive spikes of the giant Amazon Lily, students were fascinated by the unique ways living things adapt to survive. Within the Botanic Gardens, students experienced a variety of biomes, from desert landscapes to lush rainforests and woodlands, making the day both immersive and highly enjoyable. This hands-on experience brought our Science unit to life, reinforcing students’ understanding of adaptations and what animals need to survive and thrive within their specific biome.
