Year 1 - Our Trip to Chester Zoo

Class: Y1 Year: 2019 - 2020

Year 1 had a wonderful day at Chester Zoo - as a start to our topic for this half term: How do plants and animals help each other?

When we arrived we took part in a workshop called "Curious Creatures".  In the session we learnt all about nocturnal animals, big animals, fast animals, underwater animals and colourful animals.  Year 1 even got to smell 'jaguar wee' and 'badger poo' - I think that we will remember that for a long time!  Also, apparently elephants poo over 100kg every day - YUK!!!

After that we had a tour of the zoo and saw lots of animals - including the chimpanzees eating their lunch.  We saw meerkats, giraffes, rhinos, monkeys, snakes, jaguars, cheetahs and many more ... but the highlight of the day was seeing the new baby elephant - it was being cared for by it's Mummy and Daddy.

It was a great day and all the children enjoyed it.
