Learn about animal health and the correct care of animals. Learn how to carry out health checks and spot signs of illness. WEEK 5 is all about the correct methods of handling different types of animals, and an introduction into training and behaviour. You will meet a selection of different animals at each session, with plenty of time for interactions and handling. Each session is 1 hour 20 minutes and is held at Cannock Library Manor Ave WS11 1AA Parent/ Carers must stay with children. (Is your 8-10yr old a true animal lover? Can you see them going to College or Uni to study Animal Care, and becoming a zookeeper, vet or biologist when they grow up? If so, this session might be too easy if they want more in-depth knowledge and animal care training. Our session for 8 - 14yr olds might be better suited for you) Younger or older siblings are welcome to attend the sessions with a full paying child, however the activities are aimed at the age range for the session. Younger siblings will not be allowed to participate in some activities due to safety.
