Year 6 Visit The Zoo

Year 6 had an amazing time when they visited the zoo. They attended a workshop where they looked at skeletons, fossils and models of animals. They then had time to look around the zoo and learn about how the animals had adapted to their environment. It was a really exciting experience, particularly getting to be so close to so many new animals!
