On Friday, November 23, Grenfell Public School’s Kindergarten students embarked on an exciting excursion to the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra. The day began bright and early as the children eagerly boarded the bus, ready for a day full of adventure.
Upon arriving at the zoo, the students enjoyed a guided tour.
They then explored the zoo in small groups, marvelling at the animals and participating in hands-on experiences. A highlight for many was the chance to pat a blue-tongue lizard and hand-feed emus and deer. The Adventureland playground was also a hit with the students with the life size fibreglass animal sculptures and structures..
The students were thrilled to share their favourite moments.
Arya loved the baby penguins, declaring them “so cute.”
