Young pupils in Chard have taken part in a special animal encounter inside their classroom.
Reception children at Redstart Primary School enjoyed a visit from Fangs 'N' Feathers, a UK-based animal education service that offers reptile encounters and interactive workshops.
The hands-on session gave pupils the chance to get up close with exotic animals, including snakes and a lizard, providing a safe and memorable learning experience.
A spokesperson said: "It was wonderful to see the children approach the experience with such confidence and curiosity.
"Opportunities like this not only spark a love of learning but also help children develop respect and understanding for animals that are often misunderstood."
The children showed impressive confidence throughout the session, remaining calm and brave while handling the animals.
They also demonstrated great curiosity, asking thoughtful and engaging questions about the creatures and their habitats.
