I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, with a specialisation in counselling. In the past, I have worked in primary and high schools offering individual & group counselling, life skills courses, and psychometric testing. I am currently working at a primary school as a learning support assistant. My interests lie in child development and mental health awareness. I have also always had a passion for wildlife and have done extensive research on all of my class topics.
Please could your child prepare to introduce themselves by comparing themselves to one animal. For example: "My name is Shelby and I think I'm like a bottle nose dolphin because they swim really fast".
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
This class includes discussions about conservation status and poaching. There are also mentions of animals eating other animals. No graphic images are shown.
The material used in class has been compiled using dependable sources and my personal knowledge from growing up and living in South Africa for many years.
