A TASTE of the jungle came to an Oxford museum this week with Jonathan’s Jungle Roadshow.

Former primary school teacher Jonathan Cleverly brought a host of creepy crawlies and unusual animals to Science Oxford, in London Place, St Clement’s, on Wednesday, and will pay a second visit next Thursday as part of the museum’s programme of Easter holiday activities.

Mr Cleverly said: “I had some really good questions from the children.”

More than 120 people across two sessions got up close with large, spiky stick insects, scorpions, a tarantula and an African Royal python.

Mr Cleverly said: “As a former teacher, I come at it from an educational standpoint, looking at how I can bring the curriculum to life.”
