Students take a walk on the wild side

NOT too much shock but plenty of awe was in evidence as schoolchildren taking part in Science Week got to see, hear and touch a range of exotic creatures.

Among the events organised by Waterford Institute of Technology as part of their Science Week schedule was a display of snakes, spiders and other unusual animals and the school groups who paid a visit couldn’t get enough.

The programme was organised by Dave Griffin of Dave’s Jungle in Tullow, Co Carlow, who brought along some of his reptiles and arachnids for the children to experience at WIT.
