Animal Antics Visit – What a Fantastic Day! Today our Nursery children had an amazing time welcoming Angies Animal Antics into school! As part of their learning about animals, the children enjoyed a truly hands-on experience, meeting a range of fascinating creatures from around the world. They were incredibly brave, curious and respectful as they learned about different habitats and discovered lots of new facts. It was wonderful to see the children so engaged – asking questions, describing what they could see and feel and developing their language and communication skills through such an exciting, real-life experience. A huge thank you to Angie for delivering such an engaging session!
