Dear Parents,
Class 3 trip to Twycross Zoo, a report by Wendy Goodwin
We went to zoo it was a bit of a roo! So first we saw BIG Leopards with the most beautiful spots ever! After the BIG Leopards we saw billions of Monkeys!!! Yes the things that go…ooh,ah,ooh,ah, Eeek! There were loads of different types of species, such as Gorillas, Orangutans and Humans! Then we saw TALL giraffes! They were very far away but eventually they came closer and closer. Then we saw Meer cats and they were tiny! Then suddenly we saw big tortoises with massive shells. We had a request to see elephants so we saw the elephants and there was a baby elephant. Then we went along this weird path which took us to the Zebras. Then it was lunchtime! After lunchtime we played at a little park. Then we saw kangaroos!!! Then we saw a bird that looked like a parrot. Then we went to the butterfly forest. It was time to go home now. Then Lauren and I saw the gift shop! We begged Mrs Norris to go to the gift shop. Mrs Norris said ’no’, but then she let us go. I bought a snow leopard which is endangered. It was only a toy though. We went home on the coach and I fell asleep!

I loved going to the zoo. It was so much fun. I loved seeing all of the animals, especially the elephants and giraffes. The monkey’s enclosure looked like so much fun and when I saw the giant turtles I was amazed! Their shells were as brown as a swamp! And their skin was very bumpy, bumpier then gravel, definitely. It was really very fun! The best school trip by far. There were leopards, elephants, giraffes, Meer cats, otters, flamingos, parrots, orangutans, gorillas and many, many more. There were lots of baby animals that were really cute. The experience of the zoo and animals has really helped me with The Butterfly Lion. I really loved the Zoo.

Fantastic news from the village Fete, all your hard work baking cakes, bringing in toys and running stalls has raised nearly £900 for the school and over £160 for Snitterfield nursery. We had lovely weather, great fancy dress entrants and lots of happy families having fun. The monies raised will buy extra equipment and help fund activities for your children that just aren't covered by the school's normal budget. Money raised by the Fete committee on raffles and entrance fees will be used to support a wide range of village activities and in the past Snitterfield school has also been given extra money for projects such as the Forest School. Thank you to everyone who came and enjoyed the fete, and to everyone who gave up their time to make it such a huge success. (And if anyone is missing a round black plate that a cake was brought in on, please speak to Claudine Pearson or Roz Bull.)
The Friends of Snitterfield School (FOSS) Annual General Meeting is taking place on Tuesday 4th July, at 7:30pm in the school hall. Whether you are a regular attendee or you'd just like to come along to see what it's all about, we'd be delighted to see you there. The more parents involved the better, and with FOSS raising over £3,000 this year, you can see that it makes a difference to the education of all the Snitterfield School children. Please join us to find out more.
