The category prize was sponsored by Reaseheath College.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy chose to bring 11 fellow science enthusiasts on her day out. All the pupils have completed CREST (Creative Science and Technology) awards. Lucy, who wants to become a vet said: \u201cThis was a really good experience. All the colleges near us are in towns so being out in the country and meeting all the animals was amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chemistry teacher Amy Jackson, who accompanied the group, said: \u201cOur pupils, particularly girls, are become more and more interested in science. This was a great opportunity to come to Reaseheath and spend time outside doing practical activities. The facilities here are stunning. The whole group had a really good learning experience and loved every minute.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Budding scientists from Bury Church of England High School saw some of their lessons come to life during a behind-the-scenes visit to Reaseheath\u2019s zoo.
