Year 8 get up close with creepy crawlies in exciting Zoolab visit!

On Tuesday 18 March, our Year 8 cohort had an unforgettable experience with some incredible creatures, thanks to our friends at ZooLab.

From holding an African snail and a cockroach, to coming face-to face with a corn snake, students had the chance to step outside their comfort zones and engage in hands on learning. The Zoolab workshop, designed to complement the curriculum, gave students fascinating insights into the rainforest ecosystem, the unique adaptations of its inhabitants, and the growing threats to their survival.

Miss. Huxford, Head of Geography, shared her thoughts on the day, 'It's always a highlight for me, watching the students flourish and engage in a different type of classroom setting. It was lovely to watch so many students face some of their fears, and hear them talking about the session for the rest of the day. Hopefully it is an experience that will stay with them for many years!'

A huge thank you to Zoolab for bringing the rainforest to life in such an engaging way!
