Students interacted with an iguana, tortoise, centipedes, giant snails, snakes and more! A number of students even braved holding a tarantula while others watched from a safe distance. Students learnt about the handling of different types of animals and why some animals need different conditions to live. Phil and our very own Larissa explained to students the different behaviours to look for with the animals, showed them how to hold and feed them along with answering all of the students questions. ![](https://oswaldtwistle.org/images/blog/Animal-Experience-Day/DSC_0169_(1).jpg) ![](https://oswaldtwistle.org/images/blog/Animal-Experience-Day/DSC_0180_(2)_(1).jpg) ![](https://oswaldtwistle.org/images/blog/Animal-Experience-Day/DSC_0323_(3).jpg) [National Apprenticeship Week Competition ](https://oswaldtwistle.org/blog/2020-02-04-17-00-00-national-apprenticeship-week-competition) #### Oswaldtwistle School Union Road, Oswaldtwistle Lancashire BB5 3DA 01254 231553 #### Useful Links - [Oswaldtwistle (wikipedia)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswaldtwistle) - [Pivotal Education](http://www.pivotaleducation.com/) - [Home Education Resources](http://www.edplace.com/) - [Elective Home Education](http://www.electivehomeeducationservice.co.uk/) - [Advice on School Attendance](http://www.education.gov.uk/aboutdfe/advice/f00221879/advice-on-school-attendance) #### Quick Links - [Home Education Advisory Servic](http://www.heas.org.uk/) - [LCC Website](http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/home/2010/classic/index.asp) - [Lancashire Grid for Learning](http://www.lancsngfl.ac.uk/) - [The Freedom Programme](http://www.freedomprogramme.co.uk/) - [Department for Education](http://www.education.gov.uk/) #### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/oss_school) © Copyright 2014–2026 Oswaldtwistle School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://oswaldtwistle.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/oswaldtwistleschool/images/splash/MICROSOFT_IMPORTANT_NOTIFICATION.png)
