A message to Year 4 from the Botanical Gardens

The following message was received following Year 4's recent visit to the  Botanical Gardens:

Dear Mr Dickinson,

So impressed was I with the behaviour and attitude of your pupil's duirng their recent visit, that I felt it important to congratulate your school and ask you to pass on my congratulations to the pupils and staff in question.  

I was impressed with your pupil's behaviour and enthusiasm.  I was also particularly impressed with their knowledge, especially as they are only at the very start of the topic.

Yours sincerely,

James Jarvis (Education Manager, Birmingham Botanical Gardens)
