Year 2

Royal Botanic Gardens Excursion

On Wednesday 19 November, the Year 2 cohort had a wonderful time on our excursion to the Royal Botanic Gardens as part of our ‘Growth and Change’ Integrated unit. The students explored the gardens with a guide, made potpourri bags and planted a native plant to take home. We were lucky to have beautiful weather on the day. We were also very lucky to have some parent helpers take the time to come along to support and enjoy the day with us. Thank you!
