Stomp Workshop

We had a great workshop with the Acorns on Friday morning learning to Stomp with ex-pro Stomper Pete. Using our hands and feet to maintain a four beat rhythm we even made up some of our own dances!

Bristol Zoo

Our visit to Bristol Zoo was brilliant!

After some rain-shy lions we headed into the Twilight World where, despite the darkness, we managed to see lots of different creatures. We walked through the bat enclosure and saw the red pandas eating bamboo leaves on our way to lunch (which was in an amazing jungle themed room!).

After lunch we saw loads of penguins and seals showing off their swimming skills. We then had our 'Pet and Animal Care' talk with a Zoo Keeper. This session was really exciting because we got to stroke a chinchilla, hold a cockroach (if we chose to!) and stroke a smooth snake. We also learnt what animals at the zoo, and our pets at home, need to be happy and healthy.

All too soon it was time to head home. We finished with a visit to the gorillas and flamingos and in the final moments the lions saw fit to come outside to say goodbye. Just the ending we needed to our perfect day!
