My visit to the Palmetum

On the 14th of may 2009 4M went to the Palmetum and I went with my mum and some of the kids in my class were in that group too.The first environment we went to was the seasonally dry savannah and our group had to sketch 1 tree and 1 mini beast or animal I sketch some fan trees and a ladybug. Claudia, Anna, Jess, Brendan and Adam's sketches were really good aswell and Brendan drew a really good parrot. Then we went to the dry lands and we saw heaps and heaps of cactus's and it was really hot like a desert. Then we had a look at the Rainforest and the wetlands and the canopy was sooooo! cool. We went to the Palmetum because we are learning about plants  and different environments in our class and we thought it would be a great and a fun way to learn about the different pants and environments. My favourite part was when the desert was really hot and the rainforest and the wetlands were cold but not freezing cold.I learnt that the leaves on the bottom of the forest floor are much larger and wider than the leaves on the trees on the top of the forest roof I also learnt that the top of the roof of the rainforest is called a canopy. The trip to the Palmetum was really fun.
