2025 Year 3 Trip to Kew Gardens

Norbury Manor Primary School, a maintained school in Croydon, recently took its Year 3 pupils on an exciting trip to Kew Gardens as part of their topic on the Amazon forest. The school's commitment to providing a broad and balanced curriculum that is relevant to the needs of its pupils was clearly evident in this engaging educational experience.

During the visit, the pupils were guided through the diverse plant life and environments found within the expansive gardens. The tour guide expertly showcased a range of plants, highlighting the adaptations and unique features that allow them to thrive in different climates and ecosystems, such as the Amazon.

The pupils were captivated by the sights and sounds of the various plant life, from the towering trees to the vibrant flowers. They demonstrated the school's values of "resilience" and "empathy" by actively engaging with the tour guide, asking thoughtful questions, and showing consideration for their peers and the environment around them.

Throughout the visit, the pupils were able to make connections between their classroom learning and the real-world examples they encountered at Kew Gardens. This reinforced the school's commitment to providing a curriculum with "depth to enable breadth," ensuring that the children's knowledge and understanding are firmly rooted before expanding their learning.
