AN ARRAY of colourful creatures visited children at Tickenham Primary School.

A variety of animals were taken into the school on January 25 by ZooLab, a company that runs animal handling workshops, to link in with class projects about rainforests, nocturnal animals and how to look after a pet.

The children had the chance to meet and handle Bruce the blue-tongued lizard, George the rat and Klaus the hermit crab as well as a snake, gerbils, and spiders.
