Today I made some new friends
Can you believe we have had the chance to hold a snake!!!!!!!
Early Years and key Stage One had a fabulous time today and made lots of new friends - creepy crawly and slippery slimy friends.
Zoo Lab visited us all and brought a range of animals that could be found on the continent of Africa. We met toads, snakes, cockroaches, millipedes, snails, stick insects and finally a lovely cute bunny.
We learned all about their habitats and how they have adapted to suit their environment. Take a look at some of the animals we held. How brave were we?
Meet Harry the Hissing Cockroach. He is from the African country of Madagascar.
This is Sammy the African land snail. It was gigantic!
Twiggy is a stick insect. She can be found in many of the jungles in Africa.

Ruby has talked non stop about touching the snake and seeing all the animals. She had a great time although was a bit nervous about some of them. What a great way to introduce the children to the different species of life in Africa! They were braver than I ever would be!

The year 1 are adoreable. They look like they really enjoyed holding the animals and insects.

I thought it was funny when the snake went inside the mans top.

The children were VERY brave. The teachers on the other hand ...we were definitely cowards.
