Excursions
Prep A & B Excursion
Both prep classes had a wonderful day out at Hagley Farm for our long awaited excursion! The sun was shining (finally!) and the children were excited for the day ahead. We met our amazing hosts, Mike and Scott, and began our farm adventure. We got to feed the ducks, we saw the pigs, alpacas, goats and fed and pat the resident milking cow! We then explored seeds and the life cycle of a plant, which was perfect for our inquiry into living things. And of course, the egg collection, hen chasing (!) and the pinnacle of the Hagley experience, the tractor ride, topped off our day. The children ‘showed off’ Norwood in perfect style, with respect and responsibility shining through as our values for the day!
Kinder B Excursion
Kinder B had a wonderful excursion to Platypus House at Beauty Point. It was a fantastic way to conclude our inquiry about Australian animals.
3/4 Excursion
Last Wednesday, 30th November, all of our 3/4 classes went on a wonderful excursion to Tasmania Zoo.
Working in small groups, students moved about the zoo, exploring the different habitats that animals require for survival. Students also took note of where in the food chain living things belonged (producers, consumers or decomposers). The excursion provoked great curiosity and wonderings that are now being explored back in class.
Thank you to the many parent helpers that joined us on the day. The sun was shining, the animals were amazing, and a fantastic time was had by all.
