Animal Half Hour

What is Animal Half Hour?

Once a month an animal is brought in to Pre-school. The Pre-school children are given a short informal talk and get a chance to see, and if they want, handle the animal. We have had everything from a badger cub to a pencil-wielding crayfish. So far Animal Half Hour has been a big hit with the children and we plan to continue it as long as our supply of animals holds out.

Animals that have visited so far include:

Arab horse badger cub crayfish floppy-eared rabbit fox cubs

hamster huskies kitten lion-haired rabbit miniature pony

parrot pheasant chicks rottweiler tadpoles tortoises

When is Animal Half Hour?

Animal Half Hour is held one Thursday a month, normally on the second Thursday, at about 11am.

Who may come to Animal Half Hour?

Any child is welcome to come along free of charge to Animal Half Hour, whether or not they attend the pre-school. Animal Half Hour is held during the Baby & Toddler Group session, next door in the main hall of the Woodcote Village Hall. Toddlers are welcome to come through if they wish.
