Gecko Visit

 

This term Miss Boulton's Year 9 class are studying the book Holes. A boy is wrongfully sent to a brutal camp, where the camp warden and her staff force the children in their care to mysteriously dig holes all day long in the desert. Something sinister is going on...

In the book there are Yellow Spotted Lizards, creatures with a poisonous bite. Mrs Child's son Sam has two geckos (definitely not poisonous!) and he very kindly offered to bring them into class so that Year 9 could have a look and learn more about them.
