Today we joined a live lesson from the team at Paignton Zoo to learn more about some of the animals that are found in Africa. We were great at answering questions / clues or looking at an animal's skull to guess which one we would be learning about and enjoyed learning about the famous, the less well-known, and the weird animals that live in the African savannahs, rainforests and deserts.
After enjoying the video lesson, the zoo set us a challenge to design a new enclosure for an African animal. We were sad to learn that some of the animals are becoming endangered in the wild and thought carefully about the things that they need in an enclosure (water, food and shelter) at a zoo to make it as close to their natural habitat as possible and help to protect some of the species.
