The Day Out at Myuna Farm
On Monday, October 21st, J05, along with all the other Prep students, went on an excursion to Myuna Farm!
We all took turns to visit the different learning areas –
The Farm Show: we watched a live show presenting some of the animals that live on the farm and even got a turn to milk a goat by hand!
The Animal Nursery: We were able to spend time with, hold and pat rabbits, guinea pigs, lambs and goats as well as learn about a variety of reptiles that are housed at the farm, including lizards, turtles and snakes. Through this contact and discussion with the farmers, we learnt about how to be respectful towards animals, as well as discuss their life cycles, needs and behaviours.
Train Ride to Wetlands: We learnt about the unique ecosystem of the wetlands and its fauna and flora. We were also able to observe and learn about the fruit bats that live in the wetlands.
Paddock Feed: We fed Myuna Farm’s domestic and native animals by hand. We saw emus, kangaroos, sheep, an alpaca, camels, and deer. We observed each animal, how it lived in its environment, and what its needs were.
The weather was brilliant, and the animals were interesting, which meant that we had such a great day at the farm.
