This half term had an exciting start as our first lesson of the day involved meeting some exciting creatures. We learn all about how these creatures have evolved into what they are today as well as some interesting facts about them.
We held quite a few lizards, all of which are reptiles and have cold blood so generally live in warm environments.
Snakes and tortoises are reptiles too but snakes have evolved to have no legs – and make an excellent scarf.
Spiders have eight eyes as well as eight legs and some of us were perfectly happy holding this one – it actually tickled a little bit.
A number of us weren’t too keen on some of the creatures – lots of children who appear very confident in the playground and classroom were not so happy when confronted with a giant millipede!
Even the staff had a go. We had to wrestle the snake off Mrs Small as she liked the look of it as a scarf… but she wasn’t so keen on the tarantula.
Who knew a giant millipede could make you so happy!
