Year 8 Visit Twycross Zoo
Enhancing the learning experience
On 24th May, the Science department took Year 8 to Twycross Zoo to enhance their learning about animal behaviour and habitats.
We set off from KNGS shortly after registration and arrived at the zoo in glorious sunshine. The animals were all out enjoying the sunshine, the leopards in particular were sunbathing.
The girls spent the full day walking around the zoo looking at the different animals including several rare and endangered species and the young animals that had recently been born. The weather was exceptional as was the behaviour of our girls.
All of the girls attended a talk with the education team at the zoo where they had hands on experience, including touching cockroaches which the girls found to be a memorable learning experience.
As a part of the day the girls took part in several competitions and the winners were:
- Susie Lee- Giraffe drawing
- Jennifer Pastrana- Dix Butterfly
- Madeline Spray- Leopard
- Kristina Cera – Bird
- Aimee Woodhams- Flamingo
- Scarlett Ryley- Monkey
