Zoolab- Speedy the Snail's Summer Holiday

Zoolab Speedy the Snails Summer Holiday

A story-based workshop for younger children, involving acting out scenes and imaginary dialogue as part of Speedy's journey through the jungle and across a number of habitats – from the desert to wetlands and towns – and finally back to the jungle for a big re-union party with his friends.

This active-learning workshop involves children listening to a story, making their own contributions, asking questions and acting out dialogue with movement and mime. Children get to see, and, if they wish, touch some of the ZooLab animals that include a snake, a hermit crab, a hissing cockroach, a rat, a toad and a stick insect – and a snail of course!. They also observe a tarantula and a scorpion. Children get to compare the senses and textures of different animals and to think about how different animals are adapted to different environments. This is a workshop that stimulates scientific enquiry and thinking in young children.

The sessions will be in Margam Castle, please arrive at the Castle 10 minutes before the session start time. Session times 11-11.45, 12-12.45, 1-1.45.

Tickets are for children - adults (no charge) are required to remain with their children for the duration of the session. Max of 2 adults per child (due to room capacity). Car Parking fee applies.
