Events

Last week, all of Year 3 went on an excursion to a Duffys Forest bushland site. We have been learning about protecting our native flora and fauna. Duffys Forest is endangered bushland. We first walked to an old house not far from the school. We met Annie and Perry who took us on a walk to see signs of animal life. 


We saw squiggly gum moths, a nest in a hollow, bandicoot diggings and sugar glider tracks. We also looked for insects by putting leaf litter through a sieve and shaking insects onto a sheet. But the best bit was coming back to school where Rob showed us really cool animals. We saw and held a ring tail possum, a tawny frogmouth, a green tree frog, a bearded dragon, a lace monitor, a diamond python and a blue tongue lizard. The blue tongue lizard got a bit scared while I was holding it and it peed all over me. It felt embarrassing but now I just laugh. 

We really should be protecting our flora and fauna by not chopping down old trees and keeping our cats indoors at night.

I thought that the excursion was really fun and I loved patting the animals.
