Year 3 Giant Rocking Horse Excursion

A horse is a horse of course of course!

As part of our Science Unit on Living, Non-Living and Once-Living, the Year 3’s visited the Giant Rocking Horse and Petting Zoo at Gumeracha. The students used their scientific knowledge to solve clues on a Scavenger Hunt, as they explored the toy factory and zoo. They also had a chance to pat and feed the animals, all while observing and recording their favourite animals’ characteristics. And of course, they all showed true courage and bravery, as they climbed the 18 metres to the top of the horse’s head! What a view!  

Autumn Nature Play

As my children and I were collecting fallen leaves and acorns this week for our nature play activities, the joy they experienced collecting, rolling, throwing, and examining everything they collected was very special. As the Autumn theme continued in our nature play space, students were encouraged to use their creativity using the natural items to create crowns, people, and other creations.

It was wonderful to see their joy and see the variety in their creations as they connected and created with nature. How can you use natural items collected from your walks to create something special this week?
