Our first school visit of the year was a great success!!
Very excited feet pitter pattered off the bus as 60 excited five year olds joined us at Johnsons zoo for a day! The morning began with introductions and then after splitting into groups we got a full informative tour of the zoo and tropical house.
At lunch we had a surprise visit from one of the second largest species in the world - the Burmese Python! That got a few excited screams but we think the teachers enjoyed it most.
After lunch came the classroom session and this year group were learning about animal habitats. They helped us put pictures of not only our animals but also of animals around the world into the correct habitats like lions in the savannah and polar bear in the polar regions.
Finally, they got to meet and touch some of our reptiles such as Penny the royal python and Remi the red-footed tortoise. All children were very brave letting Penny slither on there hands and they all agreed in was an amazing experience.
Overall I think we can say it was a day to remember!

Reading about the school visit felt inspiring, especially seeing how hands-on experiences help students connect with history and craftsmanship. Moments like these can spark creativity and encourage young people to explore artistic skills beyond the classroom. I believe interactive learning leaves stronger impressions and builds confidence in self-expression. Activities that involve design and printing could make visits like this even more memorable for students. Exploring options such as a Silk Screen Studio can introduce learners to custom apparel, screen printing, and creative production techniques. Combining educational trips with artistic workshops could help students discover new talents while keeping the experience fun and meaningful.

Steal Brainrot Game is a Roblox tycoon game with an extremely humorous style, where everything is pushed to the point of being "absurd but addictive." The game transforms collecting and upgrading Brainrots into a lighthearted entertainment experience, constantly generating laughter and a sense of endless fun.
In Slither io, I circled a medium worm, but instead of panicking, they calmly coiled themselves tighter and somehow survived long enough for me to mess up.
It was great to see the children so excited! I am sure That's Not My Neighbor experience of meeting the Burmese Python and other reptiles will be a memorable one for them. Such a fun and hands-on learning day is sure to be unforgettable.
