Aquatic Finatic Experience!

We had an amazing visit from Aquatic Finatic as part of our topic ‘Animals Big and Small’! The children were fascinated by the range of exotic animals and creatures that came into school. We had the opportunity to hold, touch and carefully observe many different animals, learning all about their habitats, diets, features, and how they survive in the wild. 
 
The children showed great curiosity and excitement as they asked thoughtful questions, shared their ideas, and talked about what they noticed. They especially enjoyed comparing the animals, describing textures, colours, sizes and movements using lots of new vocabulary. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they handled the creatures so calmly and respectfully. 
 
The children had a fantastic time and were fully engaged throughout the experience. We are so proud of how sensible, gentle, and enthusiastic they were during this exciting visit!
