During week 10, both year 3 classes enjoyed a fantastic excursion to the Gumeracha Rocking Horse and Toy factory to support our unit of inquiry; Play.

The learning focus of our unit of inquiry is built around the central idea that "Over time children explore and learn through play." Our lines of inquiry will explore the purpose and value of play in children's lives, factors that effect and change how children have  played over time and  we will also consider Indigenous, local and global perspectives of learning through play.

Once we arrived, we enjoyed our recess before splitting into two groups to begin exploring the giant rocking horse and toy shop. After breaking for lunch, the children were invited to experience the wildlife park as a provocation for our next Science Unit, "All Things Change."

Both classes enjoyed the experience and all children represented the school exceptionally well.
