Wrens at the zoo (part 2!)

A few more photos to share with you...

What a fabulous day we all had. Thank you to everyone at the zoo who made our trip so special.

Thank you to all our helpers too :-)

Wrens at the zoo

Can you remember all of the different kinds of animals you saw today?

We have someone famous in our class it seems!

We got to see one of the zebras that was born last summer. It is smaller than the adult ones.

In the Amazing Animal Theatre we learnt all about nocturnal animals. 

Can you remember the word that means the opposite of nocturnal?

Chloe showed us some feathers from an Eagle Owl:

This bag of sand is as heavy as an Eagle Owl:

What snake did this skin come from?

Definitely not this milk snake!

What did the rat feel like?

We were treated to a visit by Lofty the Barn Owl:

She got very close to us!

Owls look really funny when they walk!

After our very busy morning it was time for a spot of lunch:

Can you remember why these are called 'black footed' penguins?

All aboard the zoo train!

The Ancient House Museum

Just down the road from the fire station in Thetford is The Ancient House Museum. This is where we went to next!

We met a lady called Karen in the museum. She told us some information about the museum. 

What were these things used for in Tudor times?

This is a model of the ancient house! What does ancient mean?

This fireplace is big enough to stand in!

Karen showed us how the beams used to build the house were made:

Before it was time to go we had some time to explore some of the different rooms:

Mrs Taylor is looking to see if she can see any water in the well below the glass cover:

Did you spot where this funny symbol was? What room was it in?

What a fantastic time we all had...two trips in one day!
