Year One had an absolutely fantastic trip to the zoo, and what a memorable day it was! From the moment we arrived, the children were full of excitement and curiosity as we explored the amazing world of animals together.

We were lucky enough to see a wide range of animals, including red pandas, gorillas, orangutans and elephants, as well as many more. One of the highlights was spotting some of the animals’ offspring. The children loved observing how the babies were similar to their parents, as well as noticing the differences too. These observations led to some brilliant discussions about how animals grow and change.

Throughout the day, we talked about the animals’ environments and thought carefully about what they need to survive, including the types of food they eat and how their habitats support them. The children asked thoughtful questions and made excellent links to their learning back in the classroom.

The children’s behaviour was exceptional, and they represented the school beautifully. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you — well done, Year One, and thank you for such a wonderful day to remember!
