Reception children at Red Start Primary School had an exciting and memorable visit from wildlife experts, as animals were brought into the classroom by Fangs ‘N’ Feathers.
Fangs ‘N’ Feathers is a UK-based animal education service that provides reptile encounters, sensory visits, and interactive workshops for schools, with a focus on handling and learning about often misunderstood animals.
During the visit, pupils had the opportunity to get up close and personal with a wide range of exotic creatures, including several species of snakes and a lizard. The hands-on experience allowed children to explore the animals in a safe and supportive environment.
The children showed impressive confidence throughout the session, remaining calm and brave while handling the animals. They also demonstrated great curiosity, asking thoughtful and engaging questions about the creatures and their habitats.
A spokesperson said: “It was wonderful to see the children approach the experience with such confidence and curiosity.
“Opportunities like this not only spark a love of learning but also help children develop respect and understanding for animals that are often misunderstood.”
