The children attended a rainforest workshop led by one of the zoo keepers, were given the opportunity to look at rainforest artefacts and were even able to hold a Madagascan hissing cockroach! Following the workshop, J1 explored the zoo and were able to identify many animals which live in the rainforest. The children were even able to experience rainforest-like weather! Luckily, this did not dampen anyone’s spirits and a fantastic day was had by all. ![](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/images/news/06-12-2019_061212(1).jpg)![](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/images/news/06-12-2019_061424.jpg) **Tags:** [2019-2020](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news/tag/2019-2020) [infantsandjuniors](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news/tag/infantsandjuniors) - [ previous](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news/2019-12-05-kgjs-vocal-ensemble-s-festive-cheer) - [next ](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news/2019-12-06-kgs-dragons-den) - [Mission Statement](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news) - [History of KGS](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://kirkham-grammar-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
