Miss Shaw’s class had a fantastic and not too wet day at Staunton country park today.

As you know our current topic is the Rainforest, our school budget could not fly us over to the Amazon rainforest (sadly) but Staunton’s tropical house was a very close second option.

3Sh created the layers of the Rainforest using their heights and discussed all of the different plants found in the rainforest and how they are adapted to their habitat. We even had a chance to create our own plant that could survive living in the rainforest!

We then went to the class room and got to hold various creatures found in the rainforest, such as giant snails, a millipede and Madagascan cockroaches!

After lunch we were lucky enough to be one of the first classes this year to go into the butterfly house- they were beautiful and we found out lots of facts about them.

Thank you to everyone who helped on the trip today, we hope you had as much fun as we did! Here are some pictures of the trip for you all to enjoy.
