Primary Department

Stage 2

Primary school were lucky enough to have a visit from the Zoomobile on Tuesday last week. Students were entertained with a story from the presenter about a walk in the Australian bushland. Throughout the story we were introduced to the animals that they had to show. Students were able to interact with each of the animals, except for the Green Tree Frog, as it can't be touched.

After this session Stage 2 were inspired and wanted to learn more about these animals. They researched interesting facts about one of the animals that they met on the day.

Some students have shared an interesting fact with you.
