Kew Gardens

Our Year 4 pupils visited Kew Gardens on an absolutely glorious day!

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is a world-renowned botanical garden and a UNESCO World Heritage site in southwest London. It is a global centre for plant research and houses the world’s largest and most diverse collection of living plants. And we got to go there! Wow!

The treetop walkway was a definite highlight, as was the new Carbon Garden that was created at net zero carbon emissions.

The children did observational drawings of plants in 4 different ways: strong hand; weak hand; continuous line drawing; and blind drawing. They also made their own natural ephemeral sculptures inspired by other artists.

We considered the visit a resounding success when one of our pupils exclaimed: “I’m definitely coming here with my family!”
