AMAZONIA TRIP

Over 100 S2 pupils from the Geography department took part in a trip to Amazonia on Tuesday 7th November at M&Ds to learn more about the tropical rainforest as they have been leaning about this in class. Pupils got the opportunity to explore what animals live in the rainforest and had a handling session with some including a dragon, gecko, tortoise and snake. They were also given a guided tour of Amazonia and took part in some interactive games. Pupils were encouraged to ask questions and experience the hot, humid climate of the rainforest. They also played bowling. Thanks to all teachers who came on the trip. It was a fantastic day which all pupils really enjoyed!
