Pupils meet rain forest animals
Pupils at Haywood Village Academy were treated to an unforgettable experience as they delved into the captivating world of rainforest animals. Reception had the unique opportunity to meet an array of fascinating creatures during a special visit from Zoolab.
Zoolab, a renowned family-run business, brought the rainforest to life right in the heart of the academy. For over 20 years, Zoolab has been astounding, educating, and inspiring children across the UK with their diverse collection of exotic animals.
During the visit, pupils were introduced to a python, scorpion, giant African land snail, white tree frog, and a stick insect. Despite the variety of creatures, the pupils showed remarkable courage as they eagerly embraced the opportunity to hold each animal.
Their curiosity shone through as they posed thoughtful and engaging questions, demonstrating a genuine enthusiasm for learning.
Della Hall Class Teacher at Haywood Village Academy said: “We have been learning about the rainforest as part of our themed enquiry. The children thoroughly enjoyed meeting real animals from the rainforest to support their understanding about the world around them. We are looking forward to writing about our experience.”
