Hamerton Zoo Park Trip
Special visitor
Take a look at the special visitor we had in Orchard Class this week!
We had an amazing visit from Zoolab - we met "Buttercup" the corn snake, "Elvis" the Tarantula, "Honey" the Gecko and "Princess Katie" the rat. All of our children so brave and focused on the whole session.
Take a look at our brilliant bird paintings. We used teddies of the real bird to look carefully at the colours and patterns. Great work everyone!
We were so lucky to see the fly over for the practice of the King's Coronation! Check out our school video channel for videos of what the children saw!
