Year 7 Zoo Excursion

Wednesday, September 17, 2025

Student reflection

On the 10th and 11th of September, all the year 7 classes were treated to a zoo excursion, in light of our biology and ecology topic. After all, what better way to learn about animals than to study the animals in person?

We split into groups to see keeper talks, in which the zoo keepers spoke about their animals. It was a great way to learn about the different adaptations of the animals while also seeing the animals themselves!

My favourite animals were the lions, who had a sort of lazy yet dangerous look about them, and the butterflies, who were beautiful.

After an hour of recreational sightseeing, we eventually made it back on the bus, exhausted but exhilarated at the same time. Going to the zoo was both practical and fun. Thank you to all our teachers who worked hard to make it happen!
