🌟 Year 2 Adventure to Blackpool Zoo! 🌟

What an exciting day our Year 2 children had on their fantastic trip to Blackpool Zoo! 🐾🌍 From the moment we arrived, the children’s faces lit up with curiosity and enthusiasm, ready to explore the wonderful world of animals.

🦁 Amazing Animal Encounters

We enjoyed discovering a huge variety of animals—majestic lions, mischievous monkeys, towering giraffes, and many more! The children were full of brilliant questions and loved sharing what they’ve been learning in Science about animal groups and habitats. Their knowledge really shone through! ✨

🐧 A Day Filled with Learning and Wonder

As we moved around the zoo, the children had plenty of opportunities to make connections to their classroom learning. They impressed us with their observations, teamwork, and wonderful behaviour throughout the day. All the adults were incredibly proud! 😊

🔍 Spotting Braille Around the Zoo

One unexpected highlight was how many children excitedly noticed Braille signs around the zoo. 👀
This linked perfectly to our current History unit, where we’ve been learning all about significant people who changed the world—including Louis Braille.

The children loved being able to spot real-life examples of Braille and explained confidently how it helps people with visual impairments access information. What a fantastic way to deepen their understanding beyond the classroom! 🌈📚

🚌 A Brilliant Day Out

After a full day of exploring, learning, and lots of walking (and snacking! 😄), we headed back to school tired but happy. It was a day filled with memories, discovery, and excitement.

Thank you to all the staff  who supported the trip—and to you, our parents and carers, for your continued support. ❤️

We can’t wait for our next adventure together!
