We arrived safely and had our lunch. We walked around the zoo and a gorilla didn’t seem to like us. It threw a piece of bark at us and banged on a window. We’ve only just managed to blog but we’re leaving for the night walk. More pictures to follow.

The 2014 Paignton Residential is well and truly underway! After a great lunch at the zoo, we had a lesson on Rainforests (including reasons why we shouldn’t eat Haribo or Pringles… eek!) We then looked around parts of the Zoo for inspiration for our evening art activity.
