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.
Term 2 News
As part of our Term 2 Inquiry Unit, the Grade 3/4 students enjoyed the movie: ‘We Bought a Zoo’. The film set the scene for discussions on important issues that are relevant to our Inquiry Unit. As part of a reward, from Term 1, in addition to watching the film, the students also enjoyed popcorn and wore their PJs for the event.
Thanks, Jimmy for supplying the popcorn.
The film was a valuable and fun introduction to our Inquiry Unit.
