We got off to a great start when we were introduced to some wonderful animals!
All of the children were so gentle with the animals.
These beautiful bunnies were loved by everyone!
We couldn't believe the size of the next rabbit to visit us! George looked us up and down and hopped around the room. We were told European rabbits like him can run faster than 30 miles an hour and also jump incredibly high!
George felt very soft.
Next came the stunning tortoises! Everyone was fascinated by their texture. We were told that even though their shells felt hard, the tortoises could still feel us stroking them.
We watched the tortoises for a long time walking along the table so slowly.
Some of us even lifted up a tortoise to feel how heavy they were and to see what the underneath of their body looked like.
We even touched a beautiful snake. He felt very different to the rabbits.
It was lovely to see the children's fascination with and close observation of all these animals.
TIME TO EXPLORE OUTDOORS!
It was lovely to enjoy seeing so many different animals so close up. We remembered not to put our fingers near the animals' mouths, but loved stroking some of them.
SOFT PLAY FUN!
After lunch we headed for the huge play barn. The children loved this area and explored and played in every single part of it! It as so pleasing to see the children helping each other and playing so well together. 
The children could hardly believe their eyes when they saw this area!
LOOK AT ME!
These faces summed up our great day - lots of smiles, laughter and fun.
I was very proud of all of our children, and a huge thank you to all our helpers.
