P1 Drama – A (virtual) trip to Edinburgh Zoo

This week’s drama is based around the animals at Edinburgh Zoo. Have a look at the videos of some of the animals on the zoo’s website here

https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/animals-and-attractions/main-attractions/

The page looks like this and each section contains a video you can watch.

After watching each video, pretend to be that animal. When pretending to be the animals think about

  • How they move. Do they move on 2 or 4 feet? Or fly? Or swim? Or climb?
  • What their faces look like.
  • What noises they make?
  • Anything else interesting they do.

Other activities

  • watch the live webcams to see what the animals are up to! https://www.edinburghzoo.org.uk/webcams/panda-cam/
  • Study the map of the zoo. Can you find the toilets? Where would you go if you were hurt? What animals would you visit? Where  would you park the car?

Zoo Map

  • Can you make your own map of your local area? You could include places like your home, school, Granny/Grandad’s house or tesco.

As always I would love to see picture of your drama. Tag me on twitter cara_aikman (remember not to include your child’s name).
