Children got to explore plenty of exhibits as we went through the zoo. We caught glimpses of resting snow leopards and we observed young giraffes with their mothers. Earlier on in the day, we could hear the bellows of a lion echo through the zoo which left children in a state of awe. We also ventured into the bat cave where various bats swooped between us as we manouvered through their habitat. During a workshop at the zoo, we also learnt what action we can take to protect wildlife native to the UK. ### Y5 Chester Zoo
