Our school workshops meet National Curriculum Key Stages 1 and 2 teaching programmes, covering many aspects such as rainforests, minibeasts, evolution, food chains, senses, variation, classification, lifecycles, habitats and adaptation. During the workshops the children are allowed to touch some of the animals; being able to feel the smooth skin of a snake and the exoskeleton of an insect bring them closer to these amazing animals.
The children will discover how the different creatures hear, smell, taste, see, move, grow and feed compared with us. How they use their senses to hunt and the wonders of camouflage are discussed. Covering locomotion, Guy explains the leap of the frog, slither of a snake, swaying of a stick insect and the strike of a praying mantis.
