The students had an interesting excursion to the zoo which included the ‘Past to Present Primates Presentation’ to look at the skull trends and features from early primates (eg: monkeys) to great apes (eg: gorillas) and then into the skulls of early homo species up to homo sapiens.
Some of the highlights of this excursion was the Painted Dogs had pups, a few students participated in the eye to eye encounter with the giraffe which was brilliant and being surrounded by the animals and lovely gardens gave them a refreshing break from all of their studying and school work.
Thanks go to Science Teacher Laura Ellam and Kendle Reid for organising this educational excursion.
