Sophie Bear is going to visit Colchester Zoo today. Her friends
in Westlands Early Years classes go every year but today Miss
Wellsbury was just taking her!
|
Sophie walked around the zoo meeting lots of new friends.
Hello - looks like a bad hair day for someone ...
|
 |
 |
"Wow!", said Sophie, "These look weird.".
Miss Wellsbury explained that they are warthogs. Just
like in the Lion King - said Sophie! |
|
Sophie met an Orangutang who was just finishing his
lunch. He doesn't look very happy - Sophie, stop waving
at him - you'll disturb his lunch!
|
 |
 |
"I'm hungry,", said Sophie, "even the
lioness has had a takeaway delivered look!". "Let
me explain," said Miss Wellsbury, "it's not
a takeaway - her keepers put her lunch in there so she
has to hunt for it. It's a game!". "Like hide
and seek?", "Yes." "I don't like my
food hidden - I just want lots of it!", said Sophie
- greedy bear! |
|
Everybody was having their lunch, even the giraffes!
Look how long his tongue is. Sophie held out a carrot
and he bent down and licked it up off her hand! "URGGGH
- slimey!", said Sophie!
|
 |
 |
"This tiger is old" said Sophie. Miss Wellsbury
told her that he is a white tiger. "But old people
have white hair!" |
|
Baby Kito likes playing games with people. "That
game looks fun" said Sophie.
|
 |
 |
Rosa is also expecting a baby but Sophie was disappointed
because she couldn't see her bump! "That might not
be Rosa" said Miss Wellsbury. |
|
Sophie was amazed at the owl. It could turn its head
all the way around. Sophie tried to copy but she hurt
herself and started to cry. What a silly bear!
