The early educational development of a child is a crucial phase where they discover the world through play and hands on learning.
ZooLab workshops provide children with a rich variety of play activities and learning experiences in a safe, secure, and stimulating environment under the supervision and guidance of our expert ZooLab presenter.
ZooLab Workshops of the Month

Springtime
EYFS, KS 1; Early Years, First Stage.
Ages 5 - 7
OVERVIEW: A special look at life cycles for younger children! We demonstrate how our special ZooLab animals deal with the changing of the seasons and what happens in springtime. In turn, we look at how each animal reproduces and prepares for the season ahead. Where possible, our presenters will try and bring you examples of eggs and baby animals. A great way to entertain and educate children at a special time of year!
"This is the perfect workshop for this time of year! The children really got to grips with animals in Springtime!" Clairmont Primary
Age 5 - 7

Lifecycles
EYFS, KS 1, 2; Early Years, First, Second Stage.
Ages 8 - 11
OVERVIEW: Designed to complement the curriculum topics of Animals Including Humans and Living Things And Their Habitats, this workshop uses ZooLab animals to discuss new life, growth, reproduction and ageing. There’s a particular focus on the metamorphosis of a butterfly and the various stages of its development. Some key vocabulary is introduced including ‘metamorphosis’, ‘larva’, ‘chrysalis’, ‘adult’ and ‘reproduce’.
"This workshop really helped the children in their understanding Lifecycles. The animals helped illustrate the topic perfectly." Backholt Primary
