This term we will be reading the book 'The Owl who was afraid of the Dark'. To start the term we have been learning about owls. This week the children made little "owl facts' booklets that we have displayed in the classroom.
We invited the Menagerie to visit us on Friday as they have three owls in their collection.
It was great to get up close to the owls and see their sharp claws, hidden ears, big eyes etc, everything that we had learned about was there to be seen.
The owls have all been injured and cannot be sent back into the wild. Instead they do their bit to educate school children. They are very tame and did not mind being touched by a group of excited children!
Not only did we learn about owls, but we got up close and personal with a frog,a very cute rabbit, a tortoise, a terrapin, two puppies, a snake and two cute kids!
Not everybody wanted to touch every animal! But we had great fun anyway, even if it was to look from afar!
