 The After School Club children recently enjoyed a very exciting and interesting visit from Mitch of Animal Experience and some of his collection. Below is a report of the visit by our resident animal expert, John.
Expert John talks about animals
Mitch came
to see us....
A royal python only eats twice a year.
On a bearded dragon the bit that looks spiky
is actually smooth and the bit that looks like it’s smooth is actually spiky.
A milk snake is copying a very dangerous snake called a boa constrictor.
A blue tongued skink does look like a
poisonous animal but it is not and it is slimy.
A barn owl, well you have guessed it, it
flies and it has black eyes, claws, white feathers and it looks cute.
Meerkats eat snakes.
With tarantulas the girls eat the boys and
the girls are much faster than the boys.

Just as the children have enjoyed watching their butterflies
grow, develop and fly away this term so have we enjoyed watching the children
grow and develop while they have been with us. Although we are very sad to see
some of them leave, we are very proud of the young people they are growing into
and we wish them well as they spread their wings and fly.
Huge thanks, once again, to our committee for all their hard work organising the Upwood Small to Tall Easter Fayre. It was a great success and raised over £400.
