We have been on a fantastic enrichment day to Knowsley Safari Park this term. Not only did we go on a safari drive where we got to see camels, rhinoceros and wildebeest, but we also enjoyed our lunch whilst watching the sea lions perform for us. It was very exciting! We also put on our detective hats for a Discovery Workshop where we investigated clues to solve the mystery.
Y2K also managed to see the amazing Birds of Prey display where we saw haws, owls and a vulture!

We had a very exciting visit from Ged who works at the Bat Conservation Trust! He taught us lots of facts about bats and we amazed him with our knowledge of nocturnal animals. We had a lot of fun writing about our experience, especially because Ged showed us a real life pipistrelle bat he'd brought with him!
The stories we have been reading and writing about this term are I Want My Hat Back by Jon Klassen and You Must Bring a Hat by Simon Philip and Kate Hindley.
