Read MoreThe Wild Project
Published 18/04/24This week, Darling Class visited The Wild Project in Bristol, to kick-start our Amazing Animals topic.
The children took part in an African Safari workshop, where they did giraffe-inspired yoga, learnt amazing facts about African wildlife and got up close with real animal artefacts donated to the project, including a python snakeskin, impala horns, tortoise shell and leopard skin.
The children were able to meet an amazing array of animals - among the favourites; the lynx, bears, meercats, ostriches, ring-tailed lemurs, giraffes, zebras, village weavers and of course, the red panda which had come out to see us...

Published 25/03/24This week we visited a local farm and got up and close with the animals. We learnt lots about what lambs need to grow, how they are fed, why some need bottles of milk and what their mummies need too.
There were lots of different farm machines busy working. We got to hear what each one is used for and even got to sit in the tractor- it was so high up and the wheels were bigger than us!
