The summer term started with a crawl and a slither for the children in Austria and UK as Bugfest came to visit. The children were thrilled to be able to learn about a selection of 'bugs' brought in by Nick. These included a hissing cockroach, a red-knee tarantula, a Goliath Bird-Eating spider, an African land snail, a Malayan stick insect and a giant millipede. The children discovered all about their lifestyles and habits, as well as holding some of the 'bugs' Thank you to Nick for a great morning.
