Hello everyone,
It’s been a very exciting week in Year 1! The children had a wonderful time at Hertfordshire Zoo on Tuesday. They took part in an exciting workshop called ‘Fur, Feathers and Scales’, where they learned about different animal groups and their features.
The children also enjoyed a mini meet with a zoo keeper, who shared lots of interesting facts about lions. One of the highlights of the day was the bird show, where we saw birds flying and showing off their amazing skills.
We also had time to explore the zoo and walk along the dinosaur trail in the beautiful sunshine. The children had a fantastic day and were so well behaved – well done, Year 1!
We finished the week with a wonderful Science workshop for Science Week. The children loved watching the demonstrations and carrying out their own experiments. We hope you enjoy looking through the photos below.
