For the past few days, we have been looking after 'Casper' the Corn snake for one of our Governors.
This morning, when we came into school, we noticed a transparent 'casing' in his vivarium.....Casper had shed his skin over the weekend....the children were very excited and amazed at this (so were the adults), and it was a fantastic learning opportunity too!
This afternoon, Mrs Ross kindly came down to feed Casper......a mouse (not freshly caught) We all stood back, but close enough to see how wide Casper had to open (dislocate) his jaws to eat the mouse.....we watched it travel down his body too!
Thank you to Mrs Ross who came down to feed him - nothing to do with the fact that Miss Rushbrooke was terrified.....somebody had to take the photos!
