On Day 7 of the Griffin Arts Festival 2025, our adventurous Reception children set off on a journey into the animal kingdom with an exciting visit to London Zoo.
From the towering giraffes to tiny leafcutter ants, every enclosure was a chance to spark awe, curiosity, and imagination. The children observed animals from around the world, asked brilliant questions, and shared their own animal facts with wide-eyed enthusiasm.
Back at school, their sketchbooks came alive with drawings of flamingos, lions, and playful penguins — a celebration of the colours, textures, and movements they’d seen throughout the day.
Reception’s zoo adventure was more than just a trip — it was a wild and wonderful chapter in their artistic exploration of the world, and a roaring success in this year’s Griffin Arts Festival.
