Wee Critters Visit!

7th Feb 2022

As part of our, "Wildlife" topic this month, we invited Allan from Wee Critters to visit us this morning! We were so excited to see his fantastic display....and wondered what creatures we were going to see! 

We saw: Craig 37, a Madagascan hissing cockroach; Charlotte, a hairy tarantula; Trevor, a big rainforest toad; Angelo, a very long Python; Bruno, a very tiny Harvest mouse; KikiDee, a beautiful squawking parrot, and finally, Arthur the Armadillo! Allan told us that because he had worked in the zoo for a very long time, he knew exactly how to look after, and care for the creatures. 

We were allowed to look closely at, and even touch some of the creatures! We also had to remember not to shout and to be very gentle with them. It was a fantastic morning; a big "Thank you" to Wee Critters, and to the children, too....they behaved beautifully and we are very proud of them!
