CROW hosts first virtual classroom
Crow hosted an interactive virtual reptile show as part of their educational programme on Thursday, 28 May.
IN keeping with their efforts to educate children on the wonders of wildlife, the Centre for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (Crow) hosted an interactive virtual reptile show as part of their educational programme on Thursday, 28 May.
A first ever for Crow, the free show which served as a virtual classroom, covered topics from the environment, to animals and their habitats. Children were taken into the world of Crow and its feathery, furry and scaly animals, without having to leave the couch. The first class was presented by reptile lover and Crow director, Clint Halkett-Siddall. He shared his favourite reptile friends including pythons, lizards and “Mug” the alligator, in an educational interactive 30 minute presentation with 10 minutes open at the end for questions.
“Our first live and interactive reptile show was a slithering success. We had children from as far as UK join us, asking questions about the animals presented like how to tell if a snake is a boy or a girl, to how many teeth crocodiles have. It was like they were actually there. We know a lot of people were left disappointed at not being able to join, but the show went so well, we will be making it a regular occurrence to accompany the launch of our online educational programme that will cover topics on animals and the natural environment that are in the school’s syllabus already. Keep an eye out on our social media pages for announcements of future shows,” said Crow Communications Officer, Alex Kogl.
