Head's Newsletter 25 November 2016

Year 7 undertook their first major expedition with our annual visit to London Zoo. Concerns about the weather proved unfounded as we were blessed with a fine day allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. We were able to explore the whole zoo and it was wonderful to see the boys so excited yet so well behaved. They loved the tigers and gorillas but their favourite experience was the close up encounter with the ring-tailed lemurs and emperor tamarins.

In addition to the simple fun of meeting the animals the boys were able to take notes and speak to zoo staff to help them with their task of evaluating the role of zoos in conservation. Many thanks to Miss Bond for organising the day and to the parents who proved such enthusiastic and capable helpers.
