On Wednesday, Year 3 had a wonderful day seeing all of the different animals at Colchester Zoo.
First, the children had to decide within their groups which animals they would like to see and come up with the best route to take around the zoo. Then, we set off in our groups to find all of our favourite animals whilst learning lots of new and exciting facts along the way!
The children all got to have an up close and personal experience with the goats, and had the opportunity to feed and stroke them as they walked through the enclosure, this took resilience for some children, who had never experienced a large animal so close before. There was so much to do whilst at the zoo, including taking the zoo train into the lemur enclosure and feeding the parrots in the giant bird house!
We finished the day with a lot of tired, but very happy children!
