On Wednesday 11th December, Year 2 went to London Zoo and met some interesting characters! We started our day by meeting the 2 kings - Balthazar and Melchior (Caspar was off getting lunch for the other two). They took us on a wonderful journey through the desert and introduced us to their camels! Then we followed a bright star to find Mary and Jesus. We sang 'Away in a Manger' to help Jesus get off to sleep before visiting the Shepherds and their flock. Finally we met the one and only Father Christmas who told us about animals all around the world. We even managed to fit in seeing exotic butterflies, penguins, lions, tigers, gorillas and giraffes to name but a few! What a busy day! We all turned into sleeping lions ourselves on the way back to school!
