We had a special visit from Andrew, a minibeast expert from **Animals Intuition,** who brought along some of his very special minibeast friends to meet the children. The children got to meet and hold Marge the Giant African millipede, Matilda the Giant African Land Snail, Charlie and Lola who were Madagascan hissing cockroaches, Stanley the flat rock scorpion AND Mr Tickles the snake! The visit provided the children an opportunity to learn about the different minibeasts and their habitats. They all asked lots of interesting questions about the minibeasts which Andrew did a fantasic job of answering, and all the children were engaged throughout the whole workshop. The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and so did the staff! Many thanks to Andrew for providing such a a fantastic experience! *Category: **[Visits](https://st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/blog/category/visits)*** - [ previous](https://st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/blog/2018-03-13-15-54-48-gymnastic-superstars1) - [next ](https://st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/blog/2018-03-14-08-31-51-a-debatemate-victory) ### Contact Us **St Clare's RC Primary School** Victoria Avenue Higher Blackley Manchester M9 0RR Tel: 0161 740 4993 Fax: 0161 795 8094 ### Useful Links - [Term Dates](https://st-clares.manchester.sch.uk/parents/holidays) [X](https://twitter.com/st_claresrcp) © Copyright 2017–2026 St Clare's RC Primary School.
