Swifts visit MARWELL ZOO!

On Friday, super Swifts had the chance to visit the zoo after learning about all the wonderful animals throughout their topic this half term! It truly was a fabulous end to this year, what better way to end a super year!

We did a workshop, all about animals! We explored different animal skins and then met Colin the Cockroach and Ibos the Snake!!

We even got to stroke them! It was amazing! We were very BRAVE! 

And let there be peace...

Swifts LOVE animals!

Super Swifts were lucky enough to visit the farm that arrived for our fabulous Summer Fayre!  They were in awe! Thank you to Longdown Farm for visiting us and letting us experience your amazing animals!

Here's some of the fab pictures taken...

Zany Zebras at Marwell

Most of us will remember all the amazing Rhinos appearing around the town in 2013 and what a great idea that was. Marwell  Zoo have announced that some 'Zany Zebras' will now be appearing in the Summer of 2016. Bitterne Manor will be supporting the project and we are very excited! For more details head over to the Marwell Zoo website here.

A visit from Zoo Lab!

 Zoo Lab came to Bitterne Manor today! The children loved seeing the minibeasts, including a giant snail, snake, centipede, frog, cockroach and even a tarantula! We found out lots of interesting facts and also had the chance to hold most of the minibeasts! 

Year R have fun at Hawthorns!

Year R enjoyed a sunny day at Hawthorns learning lots of facts about minibeasts! We played lots of fun games, including becoming squirrels and hiding our food, becoming birds and searching for caterpillars and putting on blind folds and becoming a giant centipede! Well done Year R!
