The Day the Gorilla Came

Lesson: Curriculum

What an exciting and unusual day!

Joe from Teach Rex, visited school today with Thomas the gorilla. We learnt about how his family was taken when he was a baby and how he had managed to survive in the Congo. The children learnt of the devastating impact of deforestation and how small changes they make can make a big difference. Thomas was very nervous to begin with but relaxed when he realised how much we cared and wanted to help him.

Take a look at some of the photos below to give you a taste of the day and support a conversation at home.
