They work with pupils of all abilities and ages – from 5 to 18 years old. Our animal handling sessions encourage communication in autistic children and helps reduce stress and anxiety. By spending time with each child individually, we were able to build a rapport and sense of trust.  Anna was absolutely outstanding with our pupils. She was calm, patient and encouraging. Her scaffolded approach and reassurance gave our pupils the confidence to have a go. She’s exceptional! BISHOPSWOOD SCHOOL Middlefield School Based in Glasgow’s South Side, Middlefield School strives to improve outcomes for young people with Autism/ASC. They work with pupils of all abilities and ages – from 5 to 18 years old. MEET THE RANGERS THE BRIEF The school specialises in children with autism and challenging behaviour. They wanted an educational animal workshop for 3 mixed groups with specialised needs and requirements. "In my 20 years as a SEN teacher, Anna was, by far, the best presenter I have ever come across. She was absolutely outstanding with our pupils." BISHOPSWOOD SCHOOL "Rob was fantastic during our ZooLab session. He used Makaton signing & picture cards to enhance pupils learning." T HOMAS BEWICK SCHOOL THE SOLUTION Our versatile presenter was able to adjust the show to reflect the needs and abilities of the pupils in any given session. Our animal handling sessions encourage communication in autistic children and helps reduce stress and anxiety. By spending time with each child individually, we were able to build a rapport and sense of trust. Pupils were also free to choose which animals to engage with on their own terms using our Now Next board. THE RESULT Our Social Story ensured that pupils, parents and staff knew what to expect from their ZooLab visit prior to our arrival. This helped manage the pupils' behaviour during the session and alleviate any anxious feelings about interacting with exotic animals. Family members attending on the day commented how surprised they were at how freely their children were interacting with exotic creatures. Usually shy and reserved children were brought out of their shell (no pun intended) by our ZooLab animals.

Guided by your expert ZooLab Ranger, your class will meet a menagerie of reptiles, mammals, inverts, amphibians and arachnids whilst hitting curriculum outcomes. This fun and interactive workshop perfectly exemplifies why ZooLab is WILD about animals. FIND OUT MORE Animal Explorer All ages and abilities DURATION: 45 - 55 mins OVERVIEW: What is a habitat? What types of habitat are there? Why do habitats matter? So many questions answered! ZooLab’s Habitat workshop introduces pupils to different habitats from around the world: including tropical rainforests, deserts, polar regions and oceans. This hands-on workshop looks at three great survivors; rats, cockroaches and humans and considers how and why they have survived. FIND OUT MORE Habitats All ages and abilities DURATION: 45 - 55 mins OVERVIEW: Minibeasts have existed for around 550 million years and make up approximately 97% of creatures on Earth! In fact, the UK alone is home to 25,000 different species - these little creatures are quite a big deal. Let’s look at Minibeasts together! During ZooLab’s workshop, children get a fun introduction to invertebrates and classification. They get to question, investigate and learn about scientific discovery. This workshop answers all the big questions such as - What do Minibeasts have inside them? Are there any similarities with our bodies? FIND OUT MORE Minibeasts All ages and abilities DURATION: 45 - 55 mins OVERVIEW: We’re going to use our senses to meet our animal friends (except taste (yuck!)) and find out how they use their senses. How do they look, sound, smell and what they feel like? Children learn how animals use their senses within their habitats. How do animals perceive their surroundings and how well are their senses adapted to them? Children make hands-on discoveries of textures and senses in an animal handling experience that is suitable for everyone from new intake to SEN classes. FIND OUT MORE Senses and Textures All ages and abilities DURATION: 45 - 55 mins OVERVIEW: Food chains are a very delicate balance - each species is dependent on the others around it. If something upsets that balance then drastic things can happen! This workshop looks at feeding connections (what-eats-what) in an ecological community. We examine herbivores, carnivores and omnivores and learn how to classify non-living and living things. Discover where energy comes from and what can cause the disruption of a food web. FIND OUT MORE Predators, Prey and Food Chains All ages and abilities DURATION: 45 - 55 mins OVERVIEW: A very important rule for living things is that they need to stay alive (or else they wouldn’t be living things)! This workshop emphasises what we need to do to look after animals, plants and the planet. Exploring the diverse requirements of a range of ZooLab animals, we discover that often creatures need the same core things to survive; food, water, oxygen and protection/shelter. Using active learning techniques and building on prior knowledge this value driven show in teaches respect for all living things. FIND OUT MORE Caring for Living Things All ages and abilities BOOK NOW
