Whilst the boys are aware of the debate about the care of animals in zoos, the opportunity to travel to Chessington enabled the boys to see ‘up-close’ many of the creatures they have researched during their ‘Rainforest’ project this half term. Throughout the day, the boys were asked to discuss and record how the animals were adapted to life in the rainforest, alongside a comparison with the more usual inhabitants of the UK. The boys attended a ‘Safari in The Wild’ workshop which enabled them to think about animals in a different habitat – the African Savannah.
