Interesting about this job
We organise reading sessions at the petting zoo. There, children listen to short stories about farm animals. Reading aloud helps children's language development. In addition, their imagination is stimulated and they learn more about our farm animals. The children socialise on the straw bales in our stable. We offer this service to individuals and groups from SKSG and similar organisations.
