Alex’s Class

On Friday, Alex’s class enjoyed a visit from ‘Zoo lab’, pupils were given the opportunity to interact with (touch, hold, or wave to) different animals, including; a giant snail, a millipede, a tarantula and a snake. Many pupils over-came their fears of being around unfamiliar creatures, and some were brave enough to hold them. Pupils had plenty of questions to ask and were really interested in the special features of each animal.
