An educational trip to plantasia.

                                                  Plantasia

During last term as a group we decided to go to Plantasia for a trip so we could see how this type of educational visit helps towards educating children. Plantasia is an environment where tropical plants and animals from around the world are situated and it was very colourful, Creative and encourages you to go and explore the many different areas. I know that this is a good trip to take children on as it encourages children to go and explore the different areas. In the many areas children are encouraged to use their thinking skills to answer questions, find out what different animals and plants are and also look for places on the maps and find out where the specific animals and plants have come from. We also thought it was good that children are able to contribute to their trip by writing their own poems and they can be placed up on the walls. We saw other schools visiting Plantasia and we could see that the children were really enjoying themselves and engaged in the activities prepared. This type of visit is good for getting children to develop upon their Knowledge and understanding of the world and developing upon their self esteem and confidence by having their work put up on the walls. We really enjoyed this activity and thought about taking this trip to the classroom to develop children's learning and understanding further by writing sentences about their trip, their favourite animals and their preferred places around the world, knowing where different food comes from.
