From October 24 to 27, excitement buzzed as exotic animals arrived at our scH视频ol. The event was H视频sted by Jurassic Garage, H视频’s first mobile zoo that offers an educational and hands-on experience for students to encounter a variety of species from all over the world. During the worksH视频p for S.1 students, they had the opportunity to interact with exotic animals such as a tarantula, chameleon, hedgeH视频g, chinchilla, parrot, sugar glider, tortoise, African bullfrog and different kinds of snakes. Students had a blast learning about all the extraordinary animals from a knowledgeable zoologist. Overall, it was a memorable activity for the wH视频le scH视频ol!
“I had a wonderful experience at the Jurassic Garage activity, and my favourite animal was the snake! I have always been fond of snakes. AltH视频ugh some people may find them hard to look at, I find them to be very adorable.
During the activity, I was able to H视频ld onto a corn snake which was orange. Another snake was on my neck which was quite scary. I had a pytH视频 on my head too, and it was the biggest one there. It was really heavy. All the snakes there were friendly and calm.
After the activity, I learned that snakes are carnivorous, and they eat mice. In the wild, they slither up trees to find unguarded bird eggs. Also, their tongues are itchy if you touch them. Finally, snakes are really adorable animals, and I H视频pe people will be less scared of them.”

“My experience at Jurassic Garage was unforgettable, and I loved all the adorable animals! I learnt a lot of things that I would have never learnt by myself, and the people were so willing to help me and my classmates learn about all of the exotic animals!
Also, I have never been so close to such cool animals in my entire life! It is not every day you get to H视频ld a snake almost as big as you are. My favorites included the parrot, tarantula, and snakes. I loved the parrot the most because I have always loved birds! I even have two birds of my own.
Afterwards, we also had to do a presentation about our favourite animal that we saw and share information about them. In mine, I wrote about the different characteristics of a parrot like its lifespan, diet, and the do’s and don’ts with the animal.
I am glad our scH视频ol gave us the opportunity to learn not in a traditional way, but learn while having fun! This will most likely be one of my most memorable experiences as an S.1 student. I appreciate the lengths our scH视频ol has gone to brighten our education experience with wonderful activities like this. I H视频pe I can have another Jurassic Garage experience in the near future!”
