Virtual Zoo Tour

During the lockdown in June, the primary school department organized two live zoom links with a Zoo in the UK. Children learnt about the different animals and their habitats and were invited to ask questions to enquire further. The children were lucky enough to be able to choose names for the baby meerkats. The event was reported in the Local newspaper as it was the first time the Zoo had done this. GES has kept its relationship with the Zoo and will be holding more educational events like this. This week, 21st January 2021, the director and head Zoo Keeper, Neil is going to speak live to Year 3 students about life as a Zoo keeper for their careers day.
