Brilliant Bressingham

Here we are getting ready to board the coach to Bressingham -

we were all very excited!

First stop for some of us: the gardens...



Mr Bloom was busy working in the gardens as there is always lots to be done there.

He stopped working long enough for us to ask him some questions.

He told us that about 80,000 people visit the wonderful gardens each year!

We looked high and low at the beautiful trees and plants all around us.





On the bridge.  Can you see any trolls about?



Time for a minibeast hunt:

We kept a tally to record how many minibeasts we found.

Ladybirds were definitely the most popular find of the day!



We sketched the plants whilst enjoying the sunshine:

All aboard the carousel!



Lunchtime:

What a fun time we all had.

 Watch this space...more photos from our trip coming soon.

Unusual plants

Yesterday, the Wrens were visited by Mr Squirrell

who works at a plant nursery in Suffolk.

He brought in lots of different and unusual plants to show us.

We asked him lots of different questions and he asked us some too!

We got to smell some different herbs. 


These are carniverous plants which eat small insects!

 

   We liked the Venus fly traps!  Annalise asked,
      "How does the plant know when there is a fly because it doesn't have eyes?"

           So Mr Squirrell explained how it uses tiny hairs to sense when a fly lands on it.  It takes it about a week to 'eat' a fly!



We had fun pretending to be fly catchers!

Amber and Ria are looking at the fly that this plant has already caught.

This plant could grow to be as tall as our classroom!

           We got to have a close up look at the plants at our tables
            and drew them carefully.  We added labels to our
             pictures and thought about which plant we liked the best.

I had lots of fun smelling the plants.

I  liked the venus fly  trap because they catch flys.

Sage   smells  luvle    because   you can cooking  with it.

I liked  the  venus  fly trap because it cachs flys.
