At the zoo
Length of workshop 30 minutes
What different habitats do tigers live in? Join us for “Habitats: A Tiger’s Tale” to find out!
We’re going on a tiger trail
Across the land and sea
Now listen as we tell our tale
And won’t you come with me?
On our journey we’ll learn a lot
Like ‘habitat’ means home
In mountains cold or forests hot
Where will our tiger roam?
This exciting session will actively engage your pupils in an interactive story that encourages them to enjoy rhymes, poems and songs together and fosters their understanding of our ecologically diverse world.
Through the screens that surround our digital immersive space, they’ll travel on a plane, visit the rainforest, sleep in a camp, travel through grasslands and to the top of the highest mountain. This multisensory adventure will use a variety of sights, smells and sounds to enhance your young peoples’ imaginations.
