Adventure was in the air last week as our Year 8 students set off on an exciting visit to Wild Zoological Park in Bobbington.
Organised by the Science Department, the trip gave students the opportunity to learn about wildlife conservation by getting up-close to a wide variety of animal species.
Highlights of the day included a walk through the lively lemurs, and the chance for a few lucky students to help with feeding time in the lorikeet parrot enclosure.
The group also enjoyed a Wild Wonders Show that featured various mammals, including a skunk, and a spectacular Wild Wings Free Flight Bird Show, where the handlers flew some amazing birds over the heads of the audience.
New this year, students watched the Wild World of Dinosaurs Show, which follows the park’s resident palaeontologist as he explores life through the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, with stunning special effects, puppetry, and animatronics bringing it to life.
Reflecting on the day, the Science Department commented: “The visit was a great success. It provided a fantastic hands-on experience and the students came away with a deeper understanding of wildlife conservation and the natural world.”
