PUPILS from year 5 and 6 at Bowbrook House School, Peopleton have visited the Botanical Gardens, Birmingham.

The youngsters were studying biomes, vegetation belts, climatic changes and the tropics as part of their geographical studies.

They also had a workshop all about the rainforest.

Sarah Ridge, head of the prep school said: “All pupils thoroughly enjoyed their experience and it was wonderful to visit the varied hot houses to get a true feel for what the climate and vegetation is like in these regions.”
