Wonderful Wildlife in the Cotswolds

Friday was a very special day! it was the day of our trip to Cotswold Wildlife Park.

The Kingfishers showed their very best behaviour on the coach and in the park, and despite the less than ideal weather we all had a wonderful time.

We saw a variety of birds of prey, Asiatic otters, lions, emus, wallabies, camels, meerkats, mongooses, giant tortoises, antelopes and rhinoceroses; we also saw my personal favourite, the giraffes, but the animal that was most popular with the Kingfishers (by a long, long way) was the penguins.

Seeing all these animals up close not only gave us a great opportunity to learn about their lives and habitats, but it also gave us a lot of practice in classifying them. All our King fishers should now know that feathers and wings means that its bird; scales and a backbone means its a reptile; fur and four legs means that its a mammal.

We're also looking forward to doing some amazing writing about our wonderful wildlife experience.
