They had the opportunity to safely handle a variety of animals, including snakes, lizards, hamsters, and chicks. The session helped build confidence, respect for animals, and understanding of their needs and behaviours. **Key skills developed:** - Safe animal handling - Confidence around unfamiliar animals - Responsibility and empathy - Communication and teamwork A fantastic session full of learning and smiles!
