The Kirkhill Chatter

We are very sad to be leaving the zoo.  We have had a fantastic day but it is now time to get the bus home.

Remember we want to hear everyone singing along to our going home song.

Play the song below and sing.

We hope you have really enjoyed your virtual zoo trip.

Miss Duncan and Miss Brown have really enjoyed it!!

Here are some extra videos of other favourite animals that we have found and you could watch to keep the zoo trip going.
