Year 5 Excursion to Taronga Zoo - Thursday 30 April 2026
Year 5 students will be visiting Taronga Zoo on Thursday 30 April 2026 as part of their Science Unit on Adaptations. Students will have the opportunity to investigate the many remarkable adaptations that native species and introduced species have evolved over millions of years to help them thrive in their environment. Students will observe a range of animals’ adaptations and use stories from Taronga Zoo’s Wildlife Hospital as a case study in considering how adaptations are challenged by today's changing environments and consider what might happen when that environment changes too rapidly and what they can do to become more environmentally conscious.
A permission note was sent to parents to complete earlier this week.
Year 3 and Year 5 Drama Excursion - Seymour Centre - Wednesday 6 May 2026
Date: Wednesday 6 May (Term 2, Week 3)
Time: 8:45 - 12:30pm
Performance: The Box Show by Junkyard Beats
Where: Seymour Centre
Permission: A permission form will be sent out in Week 1 of Term 2
Synopsis: Drawing on inspiration from everyday life – home and the land – Junkyard Beats' The Box Show is a high-energy and captivating performance that will teach your students rhythm and movement, drawing on body percussion and music produced out of recycled materials and everyday objects.
The story takes place in a magical junkyard, home to four characters who wake up each morning to find a new pile of junk. Together, they take the audience on a journey of sustainability and creative recycling. The contents of an abandoned kitchen become the greatest drum set in the world; pipes from a plumber’s van produce eerie melodies; plastic bags are an amazing musical instrument.
In the hands of Junkyard Beats, ordinary household items are transformed into extraordinary musical instruments and unwanted junk comes alive in exciting and surprising ways. With messages of sustainability at its heart, The Box Show is filled with inspiration, humour, and a lot of rhythm.
