Animals:
Introducing animals into the school environment can be a transformative experience for students, sparking excitement and engagement in ways that traditional methods often cannot. At Wild Science, we recognise the profound impact that animals can have on learning and emotional well-being. Our mission is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to participate in this exhilarating journey.
Animal therapy, in particular, has emerged as one of our most sought-after programs, especially in Special Educational Needs (SEN) schools. This innovative approach offers significant benefits, creating a calming atmosphere and fostering emotional resilience in children.
Students can develop greater empathy, improve social skills, and enhance their ability to focus and learn through interactions with animals. Our tailored sessions are designed to meet the unique needs of each child, making the experience not only enjoyable but also enriching.
By integrating animals into the classroom, we aim to create an environment where every student can thrive and unleash their full potential.
What animals will come to a SEN School?
At Wild Science, we take pride in offering a wide array of fascinating reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and invertebrates. Our collection is thoughtfully curated to include animals with a variety of textures, specifically chosen to cater to different sensory preferences and needs.
The welfare and safety of our animals is our highest priority. Each day, our experienced handlers carefully assess the animals' health and well-being to determine which ones are fit to participate in educational sessions. As a result, we cannot guarantee the availability of specific animals for your visit. We appreciate your understanding, as this ensures that we provide a safe and enjoyable experience for both the animals and our guests.
