On Monday this week, Year 1 students extended their learning about animals and habitat when Zoologist, Ella Loeffler (Class of 2012) visited them. Ella shared experiences of the monkeys, bandicoots and turtles she has worked with, and how this has sustained their habitats and ability to survive. The Year 1s were curious and engaged as they asked questions such as: ‘What native animals have you helped?’ ‘How did you help these animals survive?’ We shared our knowledge about animal adaptations, extinction and how we can ‘take action’ to care for the environment and animals in Australia.
