Grade 3/4
Melbourne Zoo Excursion
As part of our Inquiry Unit this term, the Grade 3/4 students are looking at endangered species from South America and Africa and are also making a comparison with Australia.
To help with the teaching and learning, the students enjoyed a fun-filled day at the Melbourne Zoo. Students explored the zoo, to help them understand the unit's central idea, living things rely on their habitats for survival. Students had the chance to see many different animals, and take part in an educational workshop with zoo animal and habitat conservation leaders. Students enjoyed being little scientists, conducting habitat and animal observations. We had a great day and although most of us were exhausted at the end of the day, some of us even asked to go back the next day! Thank you to all the parents who assisted on the excursion.
