The session brought Science lessons to life by introducing students to a fascinating selection of live animals\u2014right in the classroom.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Students had the chance to observe and handle a range of creatures, including a friendly <strong>gecko<\/strong> (a clear favourite among the year group!), <strong>tarantulas<\/strong>, a <strong>corn snake<\/strong>, <strong>stick insects<\/strong>, and even a <strong>hissing cockroach<\/strong>. Seeing these animals up close helped students connect their current learning about <strong>ecosystems and biodiversity<\/strong> to real-world examples in an engaging and memorable way.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the workshop, Year 7 students demonstrated exceptional curiosity, thoughtful questioning, and great respect for the animals. Staff were equally impressed, with many describing the session as one of the most engaging enrichment opportunities of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The day was a resounding success, with <strong>overwhelmingly positive feedback<\/strong> from both students and staff. <style>\na {\n    text-decoration: none;\n    color: #464feb;\n}\ntr th, tr td {\n    border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;\n}\ntr th {\n
