The Zoo Bus

Science and Engineering week was kicked off with a bang or rather a bus as Dr Mike Leahy and his zoo bus pulled into the Lant Street playground yesterday morning. Stepping on to a double-decker bus you normally expect to be greeted by the driver and a few dozen other passengers but for Charles Dickens pupils catching children catching TV presenter Dr Mike Leahy’s unique Zoo-Bus, there was a whole host of weird and wonderful treats on board.

Dr Mike Leahy’s passengers include reptiles such as tree frogs, a bearded dragon, tarantulas and a two-metre long boa constrictor, which all come from his private collection. After pupils had explored and bravely held the animals in the mobile zoo, they popped upstairs to the top deck ‘micro lab’ to look at very small creatures in more detail. A brilliant immersive zoological experience!
