We just so happened to meet one of the dads, who works at the zoo, and he gave us some great guidance! Armed with maps and compasses, the pupils navigated their way through the zoo's diverse habitats, demonstrating impressive teamwork and map-reading skills as they located various checkpoints. ### Y5 Orienteering Zoo [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0767.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0767.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0769.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0769.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0770.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0770.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0773.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0773.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0777.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0777.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0779.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0779.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0783.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0783.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0784.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0784.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0785.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0785.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0786.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0786.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0787.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0787.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0789.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0789.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0790.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0790.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0793.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0793.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0794.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0794.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0795.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0795.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0796.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0796.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0797.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y5-orienteering-zoo/DSCF0797.JPG) [Year 5](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-5) [PE & Sport](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/pe-sport) [Personal Development](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/personal-development) [KS2](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/citag/ks2) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/Untitled_design-3.png)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2025-05-23-06-57-00-year-5-s-visit-from-cheshire-fire-and-rescue) Previous ### [Year 5’s Visit from Cheshire Fire and Rescue!
