Look what visited us in school today!
And it was alive!
One of the teachers spotted this scorpion crawling up the outside wall of the building this morning. She fetched another teacher to catch it in a jug- brave, foolhardy people!
All the classes had a visit from it and in my class we had a great nature & keeping safe lesson from the experience. I was pleased to hear from the 5 and 6 year old children just how much they were aware about the dangers of some of the wildlife here and how to keep themselves safe.
For the adults I think it definitely made us think how close we are living to nature even although we don’t encounter it very often on our concrete walled in compound!
After we all had a good look, and no doubt planted an image that may well be the source of a few nightmares, the headmaster took it outside the compound and released it on some waste ground. Lets hope it will live happily ever after there and not feel the need to revisit us again!
