Kindergarten Excursion to Sydney Olympic Park.

This week Kindergarten went on their first excursion to Sydney Olympic Park. We were looking at the natural and built environments that we learnt about in HSIE last term. We had so much fun travelling on the bus and learning lots of new things.

 The first stop was exploring a forest environment with our magnifying glasses. We found some small creatures and some evidence of small creatures. We even saw a possum house. KC were also fantastic at finding objects (rubbish) that were not to be in the forrest and removing them.

We then went up in a tower and looked out over the park and saw the different features around us. We also saw the city in the distance. We were so brave going up so high.

We then visited the mangroves and learnt about the mangrove tree seeds and their life jackets. We looked at where animal might live here.

We then went into the study centre and meet some creatures that might be found in the area such as frogs, yabbies and crabs. The highlight was meeting Petal the long necked turtle. He really liked getting to know KC.
