EDUCATE AND FASCINATE

WEDNESDAY 22nd MAY 2019

You are never too old to learn…..

On Wednesday 22nd May, Andre from Educate and Fascinate came to “show and tell” some of his favourite pets.

We have had a number of presenters at school demonstrating and teaching the children various things.

Andre was one of the BEST visitors we have ever had.

He was interesting.

He was entertaining.

He kept the children’s attention from start to finish.

He was relevant and he spoke on a level everyone could understand.

We were all both “EDUCATED” and “FASCINATED”.

The morning proved to me once again that you are never too old to learn new and interesting things.

Here are just a few facts that he shared with us:-

1) All the snakes he showed us were constrictors.

2) This means they rely on the element of surprise to hunt their prey in order to get close to their food.

3) The leopard gecko comes from the dessert and stores its fat in the tail to survive when food is not available.

4) The tree iguana spends most of the time in the tree avoiding predators and has easy access to its food source being a vegetarian.

THANK YOU ANDRE for such a fun and informative morning.
