Year 1 had a very special visit as part of our memorable experience. We were visited by Zoolab who brought with them some very special animals!

We found out lots of interesting information about all the animals who came e.g. what they like to eat, special body parts and their names, ways the animals keep safe in the wild and the conditions they need to be kept in.

We had the chance to view the animals up close, to see how they move and explore their surroundings.

We were introduced to terms such as carnivore, herbivore and omnivore.

We found out some interesting facts about the animals. Did you know that a corn snake is also called a red rat snake? Did you know the corn snake can grow up to 6 feet long?

The memorable experience was one which had us all taking about what we had seen for days!
