On the morning of the trip, the students will be divided into teams. One student from each team will receive a camera. The cameraman will take pictures of the team, the animals, and other fun sights at the zoo.
All members should wear blue shirts. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because we will be walking all day. Please bring a bag lunch and a drink. We will have a picnic at the park inside the zoo. Bring a healthy snack, such as a piece of fruit and a drink, for later in the day.

Get your idea turned into a new book with Worcester Bosch!
WORCESTER BOSCH has launched its new storybook, A Robot Called B4, which sees childhood friends Alfie and Ava take on an amazing adventure to the dinosaur age, thanks to a time-travelling robot they came across called B4.
However, their exciting adventure comes with the realization that the world we live in is slowly being destroyed, and the natural, beautiful landscapes the dinosaurs travelled in are no more.
Alfie and Ava are on a mission to fix this, but need a little inspiration to work out what their next adventure should be. They need your help!
WHERE SHOULD ALFIE AND AVA GO ON THEIR NEXT ADVENTURE?
You should be aged between 7 and 11 years old.
Then we want your story ideas! Last time, Alfie and Ava visited the age of the dinosaur. Where should B4 take Alfie and Ava on their next adventure?
Would you like them to go to the past again, or into the future? Would you introduce a new character and, if so, who?
Send us your great ideas in 100 words or less. Just email your idea, along with your name and age, to worcesterbosch@wearetheplaybook.com.
One lucky winner will get his idea turned into a new book! Alfie and Ava’s new adventure will be printed and released digitally!
