Years 1&2 trip to Tropical World

3rd Jun 2025 | Posted In Follifoot, Spofforth

Years 1 and 2 from Spofforth and Follifoot had a great day out at Tropical World just before the half term holiday. There was a workshop in the morning, and they found out lots about Food Chains and the difference between prey and predator, they even talked about apex predators. A couple of children were chosen to get dressed up as a gecko and meerkat and we talked about their characteristics. We then went off to Tropical World and saw so many wonderful animals which included fish, stingray, spiders, birds, butterflies, large tortoises and some very sleepy meerkats. We had so much fun!
