Wildlife School Incursions
Animal Ark offer unique hands-on sessions with tame and friendly reptiles, amphibians and mini beasts, in the familiar surroundings of the classroom.
Supporting the Australian National Curriculum each session is tailored to the target age group and can be adapted to a range of lessons, be it the natural world, science or society and environment. Animal Ark sessions can support a wide variety of topics for example reptiles, minibeasts, basic needs and habitats, life cycles, food chains, classification, adaptation, the environment, ecosystems, biodiversity and sustainability, conservation and evolution.
Each and every student is offered the opportunity to get closer to nature. We learn together by looking, touching and holding. Animals that visit include Snowflake the blue-tongued lizard, Jet the black-headed python, Freddy the green tree frog and Twiggy the stick insect.
Your class will also get the chance to examine an amazing range of natural artefacts from sea shells to seed pods and dinosaur pooh, fossilized (thankfully), real skulls and bones. So much more than just reptile education.

Further Infomation
What we do.
Each session starts with a brief introduction of the animals and other items we bring along. We then rotate groups of children around the different creatures so everyone gets to see and meet them all.
How we like to do it.
We like to be set up in one place for the day. A hall, library or spare classroom is ideal. We do not necessarily need tables and can perform on the floor, but ideally, we like tables and chairs set up in 3 blocks, each able to seat 10. Two tables at the front are adequate for our props and cages.
Each session lasts approximately 50 minutes but can be extended if timetable permits. Each group should be around 30; however, if you only have 20 in a group, the kids get even more out of it.
