Getaway duck in Sherborne

This is called Paws, Claws and Whiskers topic, they had a variety of pets in to visit KS1, including two very small dogs, some baby tortoises, a Call duck, some hamsters and a guinea pig. The children got to learn about all these animals’ diets and how they are cared for. The call duck who decided to fly up on the mezzanine and refused to come down, just walking up and down quacking at the children was the highlight of the day.
