On Wednesday, Year 1 visited Twycross zoo. We had a fun and exciting time, even with the terrible wind and the rain! We saw lots of interesting animals in their habitats. Some animals were hiding from us so, we had to look ever so carefully! Mrs Bi loved the pink, elegant flamingoes standing on one leg, and Yousaf really enjoyed seeing the penguins swimming in the water.

In the afternoon, we had a session with one of the teachers called Nicky. She taught us all about what animals eat and learnt all about food chains. We now know all about herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. We thought about the animals that we saw in the zoo and were able to identify what they eat. We know that lions are carnivores and zebras are herbivores. We also were so lucky to see a hissing cockroach and stroke a silky, fury chinchilla. We are now looking forward to writing all about our amazing time at the zoo!
