A Visit From the Animal Man
This week we were lucky enough to have a visit from the animal man Chris.
He brought Alan – a grumpy, bushy eye-browed owl; Miss Fluffy – a Chilean Rose Tarantula; Bandit the Californian snake; Spud & Bruce a pair of Lizards and a stinky skunk called Bert!
The children spoke about how to look after animals and we related these rules to our Rights – the need for shelter, food and water. Chris reminded us we needed to do good listening, be gentle and to wash our hands after handling the animals.
The children were so brave! They all had a go at handling at least one of the animals animals gently. They were most wary of the skunk in case it sprayed them!
