She asked brilliant questions and taught the children about camouflage and habitats, which we have not yet learnt about in class. The children were able to recall this information days after her visit and explain what the words meant. She was especially brilliant with our SEND children: patient, kind and understanding. Thank you so much, I look forward to booking with her again for a 3rd year running." Bracken Lane Primary and Nursery Why learn through storytelling? Using storytelling as a mechanism in teaching involves structuring learning around a narrative. It helps children (and adults) make sense of issues and topics by engaging them in a story, making facts easier to remember and participants more open to learning. The benefits of learning through storytelling does not stop at increasing knowledge of the subject area - storytelling encourages creativity, expands vocabulary, increases attention span and helps to reinforce morals.

East Kilbride Shopping Centre | ZooLab Case Study | East Kilbride, EK, is Scotland's biggest undercover shopping centre. It has an eclectic mix of high street retailers and smaller, independent shops. They asked ZooLab to help attract families to the shopping centre by providing engaging and interactive entertainment. Hello Little Explorers! Visit our YouTube channel to see this week's video. Watch now! ZooLab at Middlefield School SEND Case Study Based in Glasgow’s South Side, Middlefield School strives to improve outcomes for young people with Autism/ASC. ZooLab's visit showed the power of animal encounters to support learning, communication and wellbeing. SEN Workshops Get a Quote The Challenge Middlefield School wanted an engaging, inclusive experience that would: Support learners with a range of specialised needs including communication challenges and sensory sensitivities Build confidence and reduce anxiety Provide a variety of interaction levels for different individuals and deliver a safe, positive experience for all Our Solution Our versatile presenter was able to adjust the show to reflect the needs and abilities of the pupils in any given session. We worked with staff to understand the individual needs and learning goals for 3 mixed groups with specialised requirements. Our sessions provided opportunities to see, hear, touch and learn in a safe space. We used Makaton/PECS cards and Pupils were also free to choose which animals to engage with on their own terms using our Now Next board. The Impact We performed several shows throughout the day, our Social Story ensured that pupils, parents and staff knew what to expect prior to our arrival. This helped manage the pupils' behaviour during the session and alleviate any anxious feelings about interacting with animals. Family members attending on the day commented how surprised they were at how freely their children were interacting with the exotic creatures. Teacher Feedback Excellent Learner Communication Improved Learning Experiences Meaningful School Values and Mission Alligned "In my 20 years as a SEN teacher, Anna was, by far, the best presenter I have ever come across.

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 us? 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?

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.

Let's work together to achieve a sustainable future! ZooLab is embarking on a sustainablity journey to net Zero by 2045 (hopefully sooner!) in line with Scottish Government targets. In the meantime, we will focus on other Scope 3 emissions, such as upgrading the efficiency of animal enclosures, reducing waste and water usage, recycling equipment, and reducing the footprint of home-working or head-office-based staff. By 2030, we will have reduced our carbon emissions by 10% on a baseline of 2023. This equates to a figure of 10.27 tonnes CO2e . BOOK NOW WORKING TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE ZooLab is embarking on a journey to net Zero by 2045 (hopefully sooner!) in line with Scottish Government targets. We work all across the UK, so fuel will be our main obstacle in reducing Scope 3 emissions. We have yet to find a feasible quick solution, but we aim to explore electric/hybrid vehicles in the future. Presently, we are focusing on upgrading the efficiency of animal enclosures, reducing waste and water usage, recycling equipment, and reducing the footprint of office-based staff. As part of a Scope 1/2 emissions review - we have already installed solar panels at our Head Office. Areas such as environmental & conservation projects locally and internationally will remain key focus areas. “ZooLab's steps to tackle climate change and focus on sustainability will positively influence our audiences and act as a call to action for future generations."
