October 2023 – Paignton Zoo

Class: Lower Key Stage 2 Year: 2023 - 2024

In October, the whole of Year 3 and 4 were able to visit Paignton Zoo for the day. After an hour on the coach, we were met by the Education Team and given an introductory talk about the zoo and its centenary before we all split into smaller groups to tour the zoo. We had a talk from staff, outside the giraffe house, about Habitats, giraffes, ostrich eggs and snake skin and saw so many animals in every corner. This included rhino, orangutan, gorillas, cheetahs, lions, tigers, red pandas, all sorts of monkeys, the brand new sloth, small insects and amphibians, lemurs and so many more! We all had a fantastic time though were extremely tired by the end!
