Rainforest Adventure

Posted: 25/04/2018

Last week, our brave Year 3 explorers began their adventure into the rainforest with a trip to Bristol Zoo to start their new learning theme, Jungle Fever.

Our pupils enjoyed an interesting and informative education session in the ‘rainforest room’, where they learnt lots of fascinating and useful information including the importance of rainforests and how they can help to conserve them. They also participated in some fascinating activities, and encountered some live rainforest creatures as part of this session. Every child was invited to hold a Hissing Cockroach, introduced to a Lampropeltis Triangulum (who is more commonly known as Coco the Milk Snake) and a giant rainforest stick insect.

Year 3 had a great time exploring the Zoo, looking out for all of the different rainforest creatures; firm favourites included the baby gorilla, the tropical butterflies and the sloth.

The children received compliments from both members of the public and Zoo staff regarding the exceptionally good standard of their behaviour and manners.
