Last week, all the Year 1 students visited the Adelaide Zoo as part of their inquiry into habitats. They attended the Education Centre, and met a Hosmer Skink, who they had to build a habitat for. The themes explored during this session included; features of habitats and animal needs; including food, water and physical features of Australian animals that help them survive and thrive in habitats. Although it was 35 degrees, everyone had a wonderful day.

On Monday I went on a Zoo excursion to the Adelaide Zoo. First my group and me went to the Education Centre and learnt about habitats. Next we saw the squirrel monkeys and they were very funny. Lastly we saw the pandas getting fed and it was fun.  Isabella – 1T

Yesterday we went on a bus and it took us to the Zoo. I saw crocodiles, penguins, pandas and snakes. We saw some other animals too and then we had a play on the playground. Maybe you would like to go here some day too.  Sacha – 1T
