🐾 Year 1's Wild Day Out at Sydney Zoo! 🐘🌿
Yesterday, our excited Year 1 explorers spent the day at Sydney Zoo and what an adventure it was!
A big highlight was seeing so many Australian native animals up close, especially as we’ve been learning all about them during our reading and writing lessons. We went on a mission to spot different animal features we’ve been studying like fur, feathers, scales, and beaks!
We were also lucky to attend a powerful Indigenous dance and music workshop, which was a standout moment for many of our students. As part of the experience, we had our faces or hands painted using ochre, decorated with meaningful symbols of the emu, kangaroo, or Mother Earth. It was a beautiful way to connect with culture and deepen our understanding of First Nations traditions.
It was a day full of learning, connection, and fun and one we won’t forget anytime soon! 🦘
