On Safari!

Year 2 pupils recently visited the Cotswold Wildlife Park in Burford. Their topic this term is ‘going green’ and the children wanted to find out why animals around the world are endangered and what can be done to help protect them. They enjoyed a thrilling safari train ride where they spotted some of the large animals - including rhinos, giraffes, zebras and three enormous lion cubs - before meeting the keepers to learn plenty of interesting facts about the animals they had seen. As well as the big animals, they also saw the smallest ones in the invertebrate house, and some not such small ones in the reptile house! Year 2 had a fantastic day out and are now keen to find out what they can do themselves to help these endangered animals, and particularly the rhinos.
