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!

We went to the zoo, zoo, zoo!

Today the Wrens went to Banham zoo for the day, here we are getting ready to go...

After our long walk, we all stopped for a quick snack and a drink.

Then it was time to see the animals!

Some of us used the zoo maps to find out where we were:

Can you spot the monkey(s)!

Chloe gave us a talk in the education centre

This ostrich egg is a lot bigger than the chicken eggs we had in our classroom!

It is also bigger than this emu egg!

Millie the millipede:

Shelley the snail...

...and her much bigger dad, Gary!

Savvy the snake:

Theodore the guinea pig:

Definitely time for lunch, everyone was really hungry after being out in the fresh air!

The baby goats were born at the zoo just last week:

The goats wanted to follow us, Baylie's mum did a great job of herding them back into their pen!

Don't forget to watch out for the...

...crocodile!

All aboard the zoo train:

We had such a fantastic day today, thank you to Banham Zoo and everyone who helped us!
