We're really looking forward to seeing the @LondonBatGroup this Saturday here at Roots and Shoots for a Q&A afternoon and filming with bats and their carers.
It will be an excellent opportunity to learn about bat care!

So, during the musical performance at our 'Art in the environment' event students created a rain soundscape using their bodies as instruments. This worked so well the climax ended with an enormous thunder clap inside and OUTSIDE!

100% true.
