Grade 6 Field Trip to Queen Sirikrit Botanic Gardens

Yesterday I took the Grade 6 class on a field trip (excursion) to the Botanic Gardens to look at some ecosystems.  It was good to be out of school for the day and the kids seemed to enjoy it.

Only problem was we were on the school bus, with the world's worst suspension and the driver took the long long route. This was especially painful when the kids were full of sugar after lunch at KFC and icecreams.
The photo is at the entrance to banana alley, an avenue of over 200 different types of banana.
The photo below is of Yan (my favorite Russian, vegan, hari krishna student) in front of a red banana flower, explaining to me that there are bananas in Russia at Sochi.  He is hilarious and cute and was running around repeating "banana, banana, banana,,,,,,,,.
