Year 5 learn about Biomes at Birmingham Botanical Gardens

Year 5 had a fantastic day at the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham continuing their Geography work on Biomes by learning about different plants and animals from different parts of the world. They got to hold a stick insect, a giant snail called Kevin, a salamander, hissing cockroaches, a Tenrec called Loki, a bearded dragon called Rambo and a corn snake called Toffee. They explored the glass houses and touched and smelt different plants from around the world and learned about how they have adapted to their Biome. They also explored the grounds and looked at local wildlife and even had some time in the adventure playground!
