Schools and organisations across the island will take on the appearance of zoos as students dress up as animals for a day.

The event is led by the ManxSPCA, which is providing schoolchildren with the option to dress up as lions, sheep, parrots and more for a £1 donation per person.

This will take place on Friday (February 1).

So far Kirk Michael School, Anagh Coar School, Scooil Vallajeelt, Onchan Primary, Jelly Beans Nursery, Toddlers United PlayGroup and Little Cherubs are taking part. Crowe Isle of Man and Barclays Eagle labs have also signed up.

Schools will be running their own fundraisers such as cake sales and raffles to help the charity further.

ManxSPCA staff will visit the participants across the island and will show photos of the many creatures on their Facebook page - with permission from the schools.
