Enjoying the sun during lunch
We went on a group trip to Colchester Zoo arranged by the Creative Craft Centre.
J was scared of the ducks but liked the snakes and the vultures. His favourite animal was the snakes especially the python.
H wanted to feed the tigers but that wasn’t a possibility. We fed the elephants and the giraffes. Did you know that giraffes tongues are black so they don’t get sun burnt?
We went on the train to see the Lemurs, they were on the grass. We saw the aardvarks, the giraffes, the penguins (they were swimming) and the wolves.
C saw the Red Pandas. We held the stick insects. P saw a Lion and goldfish, his favourite animals were the bush-babies.
B thought we were going to the bar rather than go and feed the birds!! L really wanted to see the tigers and was so excited when we did.
It was a really lovely day.
Guess the animal!!
The elephants were a bit slimy and very strong
Being shown how to flatten our hands to feed them
Perfect!
