I was lucky enough, while on placement, to be able to go to the zoo on a schooltrip with the foundation stage children.
we went off to whipsnade, a zoo i haven’t been to in years. Although the children cried on leaving and complained almost all day (when are we going to get there? when is lunch time? when are we going home?) it was a great day out. We saw the new Lema inclosure, the elephants the tigers, the sealion show and we played in the park. By the time we got home i was just as tired as the kids probably were, not helped by the breaking down of one of the coaches causing choas when we tried to leave.
That sounds wonderful! I haven’t been to the zoo in ages. Makes me want to go. I’ve always fancied bringing my sketchbook along and just sitting ’round in my hippie clothes drawing all the animals. I think that would be a lovely outing.
Laughter. Ah, I remember kids. Haven’t been around them much either. “Are were there yet, are we there yet?” “I have to pee!” “I have to pee again!” Thinking of the animals made me smile.
I do remember zoos zapping my energy. Hope you got some good sleep after! And egads, on the coach! I’d be frightened if a coach broke down. I’ve never had anything like that happen to me before. Besides a few car-stalls with my old car, but I was used to those.
Glad you had a nice time at the zoo!
