A trip to the Eden Project
Last friday, our class traveled in the school bus to visit the Eden project in Cornwall. It was a long ride to get there so we had to be at school an hour earlier, at eight o'clock. We brought our breakfast to eat on the bus.
When we arrived at the Eden project, we could tell it was big attraction by the size of the car parks, wich the carefully laid out and named after fruits-we were in Pulm Car Park. As we walked down, we could see the Eden project buildings-two enermouse plastic domes, built in a dip in the ground.
Mr. Jeffries told us they were called "biomes" and the dip used to be clay pit, where men had dug out the clay to use for making pots. We spent our morning going round the biomes, looking at the plants. One was kept very warm inside and filled with tropical plants like rubber, trees, bamboo, spices, coconut, and pineapples. The other biome wes not so warm and among the plants there were oranges, lemons, grapes, and olives.
We had our lunch in the exhibition center, where we watched a video about "The Making of Eden". The Eden project was build to show how men and plants depend upom each other and it cost milions of pounds to build. Next we had a talk about plants. A lady explained how you get cocoa beans and cocoa milk from a pad and use them to make chocolate.
We were allowed to look in the shop and spent two pounds. I bought some stickers and a postcard of a man building the biomes. Finally, it was time for the long ride home. We were back by half past three, just in time for the bell.
