On Friday 29th October, the Year Two’s went on an excursion to the Perth Zoo. We caught the bus in the morning from school and travelled to the Zoo. Once we arrived, we met the parent helpers inside and ate our crunch and sip. We broke off into our groups and some groups went exploring around the Zoo and the other groups went and did the guided activity called Gwabba Boodja. For this activity we met a Zoo Keeper at the Dingo exhibit and went and read a story where we learnt about the Noongar seasons and names for animals in the South West. Through story, costume and animal observations, we explored and celebrated the differences between animals, and how their bushland habitat provides for their survival.
