On March 4th, Year 7 had an exciting trip to Kew Gardens. We learnt a lots of interesting facts and information about rainforests, wildlife and what we could do in the future as the next generation to help climate change and arising problems happening in the world. The Kew Gardens tour guides and teachers taught us about plants and organisms that have helped us in the past to either cure sicknesses or solve problems such as the Madagascar Periwinkle plant, which has cured and helped leukemia in children and in some adults. We also went into the different greenhouses, such as the Palm House, which gave us an insight to what the climate and weather was like in a rainforest. Overall, it was an extremely fun and educational trip that the whole of Year 7 enjoyed.
