Last half term Year 6 spent an afternoon on Southwold’s flourishing roof top garden with Cassie our gardener.

The children also learnt about the Latin names and why plants all have a name in Latin. Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus introduced the system for naming plants in the 18th century with each plant having a first, middle and last name!
