A special family trip (Part 2)

We did some fantastic things on the trip, like visiting the Taj Mahal in India. Luke enjoyed traveling around the National Park in Kenya. I enjoyed that too, but for me, the best part was visiting the Rocky Mountains in Canada. It was a great trip, but now we’re home again, I’m happy to be back at school and spending time with my classmates. Everyone asks if I missed things while I was away but I tell them not really. It was an adventure and I enjoyed everything about it.

For Alice what was the best part of the trip?

Red Pandas

Buddy and his brother, Rusty, are red pandas. They were born on 15 June 2013 and have lived at the London Nature Center since 2015. They have to eat a special food called ‘bamboo’ which is difficult to buy, so the Nature Center is growing more than 50 bamboo plants for them to eat. Red pandas also live in India, China, and other Asian countries, but experts think that there are only about 2,500 still living in the wild. Luckily, a lot of zoos and parks around the world are trying to protect the red panda.
