The Vine
Year 6 Science - The Outside Classroom
Following their excursion to the Geelong Botanic Gardens, here are the words of some of the Year 6 students:
“Finding interesting trees based on photos we were given, then writing facts about them.”
- Michael Broomhead
“I learnt about sorting and comparing three different types of plants, and about how they are different and what makes them a plant or a fruit.” - Peyton Milne
“I learnt that bees have their own runway to land on the flower because two petals have four lines that guide them in.” - Sam Sayle
“Thinking about plants, I learnt that all plants have different DNA. If there is a good apple for example, the farmer might graft that branch onto another tree.” - Cooper Welsh
“It was fun collaborating with other people and working together on activities. I enjoyed looking at different flowers and plants closely because I don't usually have that opportunity.” - Lucy Martin
“I really enjoyed getting out of the classroom. I liked looking at and drawing the details of different plants.” - Ruby Lockman
