Mindo cloud forest - School residential trip

This year Tom and I took our Year 4's on a trip to Mindo cloud forest for their annual residential trip. Brianna and Evelyn came along too. The children are studying rainforests in class so they got to have the rainforest as their classroom for the day. We firstly visited a place called 'Tucanopy,' where we all went on a jungle walk through the rainforest. We saw huge leaves that we could all fit under, had a go at eating leaves that tasted of lemon and saw trees that are endanger of extinction. The kids loved it.








After the jungle walk, we had a go at flying across the rainforest canopy on large zip-wires. All the kids did it alone, which was quite an achievement, it was lots of fun!



We visited the Mariposario in Mindo and lots of the kids and Evelyn had butterflies on their heads! The butterflies are so beautiful and come in all different sizes and colours. Finally we went to a local hostel where we could see large numbers of hummingbirds and parrots in the wild. Then we headed back to school - it was a very tiring trip!
