The children were all enthralled by the different animals they saw and learnt so much – Reception Year had their first introduction to the animal world, Year One learnt about the different classifications of animals and Year Two learnt about the adaptations of animals to help them strive and thrive.

The animals we met included frogs and toods, snakes, a centipede and a giant Mexican spider (not to be confused with a tarantula!) along with our furrier friends – a Siberian husky called Ice, meerkats, a fruit bat and a skunk. We also had the opportunity to meet a barn owl – who comes most years and loves showing off his silent flight.
