Another #MacroMonday! 🧐

What two species can you spot in this photo?

Fun Fact for species 1 : Did you know this species doesn't have a heart or gills! 💙Instead, it breathes through it's body wall and it's feather appendages!

Fun Fact for species 2 🐌 : Did you know, although this species is often found underwater - it finds its food by smell AND it is a big fan of eating meat, using its shell to prise open other creatures! 🐚🐛

#ThankyouThursday! This week we want to say a HUGE thank you to the fantastic @prawnonthelawn ! 🙏🙏🙏

These guys and all of their fantastic customers are unbelieveable! They have just donated an incredible £6000 to us! This has come as an AMAZING suprise - POTL are always so kind and generous to us, but as we know everyone has had such a tough 12 months this has really blown us away.

Ahhh it's that time ALREADY - Back to "school".

As we start another term with super-parents becoming teachers on top of all their other jobs; we thought we would make a blog post on our top 3 educational resources which you can download off our website for free - have a look at the link in our bio!

PLUS you can be in with a chance of winning your very own lobster adoption for your little one / ones just by having a go at some of our resources and sending us a photo! We'd LOVE to see what you've been up to!

Happy learning!
