Our Early Years and Key Stage 1 pupils at St Joseph’s Catholic Academy had an unforgettable hands‑on learning experience as we welcomed Bugs N Stuff into school for a series of exciting and educational workshops.
Meeting Some Incredible “Mega” Creatures
The children were thrilled to come face to face with an amazing range of insect, arachnid and reptile creatures. From stick insects and beetles to lizards and snakes, pupils learned fascinating facts about each animal and discovered how they live, move and survive in different environments.
Learning Through Courage and Curiosity
Many pupils showed great bravery as they had the opportunity to carefully handle some of the gentler animals, developing confidence, curiosity and respect for living things. The experience encouraged thoughtful questions, excitement and a real sense of wonder.
A Truly Memorable Experience
Highlights of the day included encountering a tarantula, snake, scorpion, stick insect, lizard and beetles — bringing learning vividly to life and creating memories that will last a long time.
This visit was a fantastic way to enrich our science and understanding of the natural world, while inspiring awe and enthusiasm in our youngest learners.
A huge thank you to Bugs N Stuff for a truly memorable and engaging day!
