Last week, on Friday 10^th March, Year 3 went to Taronga Zoo as part of our Science unit. The zoo experience never fails to disappoint. We had such a fantastic outing, sighting many animals, partaking in a wonderful lesson with a Taronga Zoo keeper and applying much of our Science knowledge.

This term we have been exploring life-cycles of living things, including our very own meal worms in class. It was great to have Jessie, a Taronga Zoo keeper, run through different life-cycles with us to expand our knowledge. It was quite the hands-on experience. When we weren’t at our Taronga lesson, 3M and 3B thoroughly enjoyed watching the Seal Show, while 3S were swooped upon by a range of birds at the bird show.

It was fantastic to be able to wander through the zoo with our class mates and parent helpers and see animals that are certainly not native to Australia, as well as those animals that are.

Many thanks to the wonderful helpers that assisted us on the excursion! We couldn’t have done it without you.
