Room 4 trip to Belfast Zoo

16th Apr 2026
Room 4 had a fantastic trip to Belfast Zoo today 🐾, where we learned more about some of the endangered animals we’ve been studying in school πŸ’πŸŒ.

We started the day with an exciting discovery session, getting the chance to touch and hold a variety of fascinating animals, including a grasshopper πŸ¦—, frog 🐸, pygmy hedgehog πŸ¦”, ball python 🐍, and tarantula πŸ•·οΈ. We learned about where these animals come from, how they are adapted to their environments, and the special features that help protect them from predators and harm.

Afterwards, we explored the rest of the zoo—lots of steps, but lots of fun tooπŸ˜„

A brilliant day spent learning and enjoying time together.
