Other prizes include free school resources from EPSL Educational Printing and a £100 donation from the company in the school’s name to BECT, which will buy school textbooks for children that live in areas close to wild elephants.
The zoo’s managing director, Darren Webster, said: “What better way to decorate our wonderful new elephant house than to have it full of artwork from children. I personally can’t wait to see the entries start rolling in.”
