EAL INCURSION – AUSSIE WILDLIFE DISPLAYS

During Term 2, the EAL Effective Reading Program (ERP) class have been learning about native Australian animals. On Friday 14 June 2019, these students took part in an incursion with Vince and the animals from Aussie Wildlife Displays. They were able to hold and interact with the various animals (reptiles, birds and marsupials), which for most, this was their first time seeing or touching these animals. The students really enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of this life experience.

We have been learning about Australian animals in ERP. Mrs Pettit and Mrs Phillips decided to let Vince bring some of the animals that we have been learning about. I was scared to touch the snake, but I saw my friends touching it, so I changed my mind and decided to hold it. - Thuch Dau Thuch 8B

I really enjoyed seeing animals and especially the snake and crocodile. I touched the big snake, and it was cold and the skin is soft. Thank-you very much to Vince of Aussie Wildlife Displays. - Farid Nazari 9C

My favourite animal was the snake; the man said the snake likes to eat small animals. I liked how the man was talking about the snake, I feel like I want to know more about the snake. - Rachael Frazer 7B

My favourite animals were the cockatoo and the crocodile. I got to hold the cockatoo, it was black and the tail was red. It had soft feathers. The freshwater crocodile was smooth and it eats fish and small animals. - Farhad Nazari 7C

I saw the beautiful Australian animals. This was my first time to see and touch Australian animals. I was feeling happy. He brought ten different animals into our school, the two that I liked were the big wombat and Dennis the cockatoo. – Aiga Frazer 9E

My favourite animals were the Common wombat and the Red Tailed Black Cockatoo. The Common wombat had really hard hair and she had a special name, it was Ally. The Black Cockatoo was named Dennis and he tried to eat everything he saw. - Deborah Frazer 8I

On Friday 14th June, I went to ERP, and the day was really, really good because I saw the Australian animals. This was the first time to see and touch these animals. My favourite animal was the Common wombat. I loved this animal and wanted to take it home. - Sam Frazer 9E

On Friday 14th June we had Aussie Wildlife Displays come to school. The name of the man was Vince, and he came with Australian animals. My favourite animals were the snake and the wombat. - Uiva Burgess 9H

It was really enjoyable and fun to see the animals in the ERP room. Vince showed us all of the animals and some of the students were scared of the snake and the crocodile. - Stephen Frazer 10I

My favourite animal was the Common wombat because it was so cute and so fat. It was very cute when it walked and I wanted to take it home. I hated the snake, I was scared but my friend liked the snake. - Mary Tuala 7K
