Class 2 were full of animal magic today as Rob from Reptile Life brought his group of nocturnal animals to see us. We learned so many interesting facts about how these animals are adapted for being awake at night. What do you know about nocturnal animals?
Also, we were so sensible that we were the first class ever to see Rob’s newest friend, a meerkat who is not nocturnal but has to travel with him because he’s so tiny!
Isn’t it interesting that fire salamanders don’t shoot fire?
Owls flap their wings without a sound.
Baby hedgehogs are called hoglets.
Sophie doesn’t stink and she didn’t stink when she was a baby. She smells like a clean dog. She is soft,furry and cute.
Owls are very smart and their wings are very quiet and their talons are strong.
The leopard gecko has spots like a leopard but it is a tiny creature.
Some meerkats live Africa.
Although tenrecs look like hedgehogs they’re more closely related to a giraffe!
Sometimes tarantulas are hairy!
Isn’t it surprising that tenrecs are more related to a giraffe than a hedgehog!?
Do you believe that snakes eat disgusting food like rats!?
Meerkats try to run away when you’re holding them.
I know that snakes wrap around you to keep safe!
Isn’t it surprising that Walter the snake is wraping himself around someone to keep safe?
A snake is 6 and is huge.
Tenrecs can not roll into a ball.
The animals were so much fun and they were very soft and smooth. The lizard has got spots.
Dexter is flapping his wings because then a mouse cannot hear them.
Did you know owls can see in the dark because of their eyes?
WOW! It looks like you had a great time with Rob. I wonder what your favourite animal was.
Dorothy the crocodile is a friendly crocodile.
Rob is a great man saving animals.
It’s weird that tenrecs live in one jungle!
Owl wings are really quiet when they flaps their wings.
The meerkat is very small so it can’t run fast. She is so cute. My favourite animal was Dorothy the crocodile because it’s so much to look after and it might take you all day until night time.
Looks fun!
If you were an animal what would you be? I’d love to be an owl!
My favourite animal is an owl because it can fly!
The crocodile is very long,scary and it has razor sharp teeth!
The scorpion is awesome because it can glow!
Although tenrecs look like hedgehogs they are related to giraffes.
It was fun learning and seeing all the animals
I loved seeing and touching the animals.
Did you know that crocodiles are the only animal with a tongue that cannot lick its lips? It is because its tongue goes inwards so it doesn’t swallow water whilst it is fishing underwater.
WOW, Class 2 it looks like you had a wonderful time looking at the nocturnal animals, I hope you liked them all. Did you know owls can turn their heads all the way?
I wish Rob brought a badger because I could see its glowing eyes!
The meerkat was cute and tiny.
I loved seeing the animals especially Walter the snake.
I liked Angus the tenrec because he was quite soft.I also liked Dexter the owl and I feel sorry for him!
The animals were so beautiful. I really liked them all.
I love nocturnal animals . My favourite animal is a bat .
It must be TERRIBLE for Dexter to be hit by a car!!! I feel sorry for him.
I like tarantulas.
I really liked the baby meerkat
I love owls! I wish I had a pet owl. Crocodiles have very sharp teeth. Skunks normally smell,but Sophie didn’t.
I was nervous to hold Tina because I thought she would bite me !
Walter the snake is so long!
My favourite animal was Sophie the skunk because she was fluffy and cute
It was very fun when I saw the animals!!!
Did you know who is the smelliest?
I wonder what a fox and a badger would be like?
