EYFS Pupils Enjoy Wild Encounter
Pupils in the Early Years Foundation Stage at Leicester High School for Girls were treated to a thrilling and educational visit from Matt’s Minibeasts and Friends this week.
The interactive session gave the girls the opportunity to get up close with a variety of fascinating creatures, including snakes, tarantulas, giant snails, and other exotic animals. The experience was designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and support learning about the natural world through hands-on exploration.
There were squeals of excitement (and a few brave smiles!) as the children took turns handling or observing the animals and learning fun facts about their habitats, diets, and behaviours. The session complemented the pupils' current learning topics and encouraged thoughtful questions and discussions.
Leicester High School for Girls would like to extend a huge thank you to Matt’s Minibeasts and Friends for bringing such a memorable and engaging experience to our youngest learners. The visit was a fantastic way to bring classroom topics to life and inspire a lifelong interest in the natural world.
