Year 7 students enjoyed an exciting and hands-on visit from Zoolab this week, having the opportunity to handle and learn about the fascinating ‘creepy crawlies’ that inhabit the different layers of the tropical rainforest. From discovering that a cockroach could run the equivalent of 200 mph if it were human-sized, to learning that a dumpy tree frog swallows using its eyes, students were captivated throughout the session. This fantastic experience helped to bridge the gap between their Key Stage 2 Geography curriculum and their Key Stage 3 studies, bringing their classroom learning to life in an engaging and memorable way.
