    Rob from Zoolab came to show us his pets…but they were no ordinary pets. Rob brought in a snake, a giant African snail, a cockroach, a tarantula and a millipede. He taught us all about their special features and how we should look after them. Rob then let us handle them. Lots of us tried holding, stroking or just observing the different animals.

    As part of our topic ‘How does it grow?’ we had a visit from Zoolab. The children absolutely loved meeting the (not so mini) minibeasts and were very brave holding them and enjoyed finding out lots of facts about them. Did you know that a cockroach has two brains? One in its head and another in its bottom!
    Here are some questions you could ask your child-

    What is snail slime used for?
    What part of our body is like a snails shell?
    What does a tarantula do when it is scared?
    What happens to a cockroach if you put it in the freezer?

    Zoolab visited nursery. They brought lots of creepy crawlies to show us. Some of us were brave enough to hold them, some of us weren’t.

    Today we had a wonderful visit from our friends at Gateshead Music Service. They treated us to a fun-filled hour of Disney songs. Lots of us got dressed up for the occasion. We clapped along and got to use some different instruments to provide a musical accompaniment. We were brilliant at recognising the different tunes.
