The final photos from HAF Day 8!

Our final day of HAF was so much fun! We were joined by the lovely Antonia from Cleveland Fire Brigade, who came along to talk to the children all about fire safety. They learned all about what can cause fires, how to prevent them, and what to do in an emergency.

The children also had the opportunity to get a closer look at the equipment used by the fire brigade and even try some of it on for themselves!

After dinner, we had some very special animal visitors! The children got to meet Georgie the sheep, Ed the snail, our hissing cockroaches and a Ghana speckled-leg millipede. They absolutely loved getting up close and learning all about these amazing animals!

A huge thankyou to everyone who has joined us throughout the summer! We hope you've all had an amazing time and enjoyed HAF as much as we have.

HAF Day 7!!

Wow, what a fun day we had!

The children got to meet loads of amazing animals, including Georgie the sheep, Honey the bumblebee millipede, and even a false water cobra* named biscuit! They also enjoyed plenty of fun games in the sunshine!

A huge well done to all the children for being so brave, curious and gentle when meeting our animal guests! 💚

*Safety note: False water cobras are mildly venomous, so all interactions were carefully supervised by our experienced and qualified staff. Although Biscuit is very friendly, the children were shown how to handle her safely and were directed to hold her towards the tail, away from her head - which a member of staff held at all times. False water cobras are rear-fanged, meaning their venomous teeth are positioned towards the back of the mouth, and unlike true cobras, they cannot spit venom. All handling was carried out under close staff supervision to ensure everyone stayed safe.

HAF Day 5! 🐍

The children had a fantastic time meeting some of our animals, playing games, and getting creative with items they'd found around the paddock.

It was lovely to see some new faces, as well as some familiar ones!
