Today we had a visit from Sandie Robb of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland.

We learned that Giant Pandas are an endangered species because people are destroying their habitats….. this is called deforestation.

Pandas can only reporduce once a year and the cubs are very helpless when they are born.

What we did/enjoyed….

I liked looking at the skulls and having to match the different animal skins with the skeletons…….and holding fake panda poo!!

I loved learning all the different facts about pandas.

We played Chinese pairs and I won a couple of games which was good.

I thought it was hard to play some of the games because you had to sort some of them out reading the Chinese characters.

I found it interesting to find out different facts about pandas that I didn’t know.

I enjoyed investigating the bamboo.

We also learned about a VERY strange mating ritual!!!!!!
