Last week was an unforgettable adventure for Year 1 and Year 2! To bring our rainforest topic to life, we welcomed ZooLab and their incredible collection of rainforest creatures. From slithering snakes to creepy crawlies, we were amazed by the animals and even got the chance to hold and touch some of them! Everyone showed fantastic care to keep the animals safe, and some of us had to summon real courage—especially when meeting Phantom the tarantula! We learned loads of fascinating facts and heard thrilling stories about life deep in the rainforests around the world. Here’s what some of the children had to say about this amazing experience:
 

"The corn snake felt hard and scaly, the tarantula was too itchy to touch, the lizard was heavy, big and skinny, the cockroach was scary and golden.  The snake was called buttercup, she was very long.  The lizard climbed my arm and slept a little. " - Oliver 

"The gecko crawled up my arm , it felt soft as a pillow.  It did not change colour it just stayed green.  The corn snake was silky and smooth, it looked like it was tangled up. " - Nura 

"The gecko jumped from one arm to another and it was really funny. " - Daisy
