A Close encounter with some of the big 5!

The highlight of our week this week can only be our wonderful trip to Noah's Ark Zoo.  We had a fantastic day seeing some of the big 5 animals we are learning about in our Geography topic all about Kenya.  We saw Lions, Elephants and Rhinos as well as Giraffes, camels, bears, crocodiles and meercats to name just a few.  Panda Class were really fortunate to watch a fantastic bird display and learn all about the different hunting birds with them brushing past the tops of our heads; a very close encounter! We were able to get very close to lots of the animals and the children had a wonderful time.  Well done Panda class for your super behaviour on our trip; you were a real credit to our school.  

On retuning to school we have continued to learn about how the habitat in Kenya is different to the UK and the animals have to adapt to their changing climate.  We have enjoyed drawing the big 5 and will continue to find our more about them and Kenya next week. 

During story time we have enjoyed sharing the story cottonwool Colin.  If you would like to read it together please use the link below.
