🌿📚 Our Primary Trip to Retiro Park: A Day of Learning and Fun! 🌳🦋

Yesterday, our school embarked on an incredible adventure to Retiro Park, and it was an experience we'll cherish forever! 🚌🌲

We started the day with an exciting guided tour, where we delved into the rich history of the park 🏛️, learned about the diverse plant species 🌻, and marveled at the fascinating animals that call this place home 🐿️🦢. It was like stepping into a natural encyclopedia! 📖🌿

But the adventure didn't end there! 🤩 After all that knowledge, we enjoyed a delightful picnic amidst the beauty of nature. 🍃🥪

And guess what? 🌱🌼 We stumbled upon some kind gardeners who were giving away free plants! 🌿🪴 We couldn't resist the opportunity to contribute to our school's gardening project 🌱🏫, so we grabbed some plants to nurture and grow in our very own green space. 🌱🌈

This day was not just about learning but also about making memories and connecting with nature. 🌏💚 We're so grateful for this incredible experience and can't wait to watch our new plants flourish in our school garden! 🌻🌱

A big shoutout to our teachers and everyone who made this trip possible! 🙌✨

In year 5&6 we have been learning about forces. This week we were looking at gravity and air resistance so we designed parachutes and investigated how the size of a parachute affects the speed at which it reaches the ground. We discovered that the bigger the parachute, the longer it takes to reach the ground due to the air resistance pushing against it 🪂😊
