Sharing from the Start - Wee Critters

Back to News
14th May 2019

We continued our Shared education project with a visit to St. Peter's to see Wee Critters.

Allan from Wee Critters told us how we have to be kind to animals and look after them. We have to remember not to throw litter and to recycle so animals do not eat rubbish or get stuck in it.

 

We got to meet and handle a selection of wee critters

  • Amos the armadillo
  • Charlotte the tarantula spider
  • Flash the giant snail
  • Craig the hissing cockroach
  • Topsy the leopard tortoise
  • Trevor the cane toad
  • Milkshake the snake
  • Dobby the owl

The children were all very brave handling the animals. Well done!
