Party Animals NI Visit

7th Jan 2024

Hands-on activities are the best way to learn about animals and to teach respect for living things., and our visit from Party Animals provided that today.

The children always have a wonderful time when visitors to school bring in animals for us to meet. The children get to experience a far wider range of creatures, and ones that wouldn’t normally be kept as family pets such as hedgehogs and spiders.

They discover all about their world through seeing, hearing, and touching. Stroking and interacting with animals at proximity teaches children how various textures feel. Such visits provide the perfect opportunities to extend learning and knowledge of caring, feeding and habitats necessary for these animals.
