Year 6 have had a fantastic day out at Chester Zoo, even the weather has remained dry.
We have taken part in a workshop where all of the children had the opportunity to see, smell and touch a variety of artefacts.
We have experienced a range of beautiful animals from across the World, including the acrobatic monkeys, which everyone enjoyed!
We are currently on the way to Chester Zoo, where we will take part in numerous activities based on The Amazon Rainforest. The children are extremely excited, despite the long coach journey there.
We will keep you updated on our journey through out the day.
