On Wednesday in Week 4 Kindergarten enjoyed a wonderful trip to Sydney Zoo. For many students, it was their first time going on a bus! There was delight all around as the five classes travelled to and from the zoo.

At the zoo, the students were immersed in learning whilst they participated in special zoo educator-led groups that taught them about different types of animals and their habitats. Students were able to pat a blue tongue lizard and a children’s python. They heard a story about the animals in the zoo and learned many interesting facts. This was followed by a walking adventure in which the students had to look for green leaves around the zoo. Each leaf held information or challenges for the children to complete.

A highlight for many was playing in the huge dinosaur-themed sandpit area during Lunchtime. The children were able to climb, dig and brush the sand as they explored for ‘bones’.

Some student highlights included….
“I like when I saw the meerkats and they were running around and standing up. They were so cute.” -Subeg, KW
“I liked it when I saw the tigers. They roared so loud. It was so much fun.” -Nicola, KS
“I loved the sharks and penguins. I liked the sharks because they snap fish. I liked the penguins because I love water and they went in the water.” -Harry, KR
“I like that I could see the painted dogs. I like doing art at school and they look funny.” -Mila, KG
“I like the hyenas because they are fast and I’m super-fast too.” -Brandon, KB
