Year 1 Trip to Blackpool Zoo

The children had a fantastic time exploring Blackpool Zoo on Tuesday. It was a wonderful day full of excitement and hands-on learning.

They took part in a workshop all about animal habitats, where they learned about the different environments animals live in and what they need to survive. The children were able to explore a range of real artefacts, including an elephant’s tooth (which was incredibly big and heavy!), camel fur, snake skin and a turtle shell.

One of the most exciting moments was the chance to hold a cockroach—if they were brave enough! (Miss Bryan wasn’t quite as brave! 😊)

The children also enjoyed watching the sea lion show and had a great time using their maps to explore the zoo and spot lots of different animals.

It was a brilliant day and a lovely opportunity to bring our learning to life.
