On Tuesday the three year olds had a visit from animal capers.
The children met 'Mildred' the Chinese Silky Chicken and they bravely took it in turns holding the container of food for 'Mildred' to eat out of. They also had the opportunity to touch 'Wrinkles" the snake with his smooth scales and for the very brave children they held their arms out straight to hold him. 'Thumper' the rabbit was very popular and all the children stroked the rabbit gently and some spoke about their pet rabbits at home. 'Bandit' the ferret made the children laugh as he tickled the children with his nose on their faces. 'Napoleon' the frog was very slimy and the children learnt how ,as he has dry skin, they needed water sprayed on their hands so as not to damage him. Finally there was "Hercules' the Pine Cone Lizard and the children discussed where he lives and what foods he likes to eat.
The children got to look at, touch and hold a variety of animals learning about their environments and how they live differently from humans.
