Feathers, Fur and Fins

This term we have done a lot of hands on learning around animals. We have had a great time at the S.P.C.A and Natureland, as well as, in the classroom with visiting pets. One of our most significant trips, however, was to Ruby Bay. Due to the Aquarium burning down, we were unable to visit, but Richard was so great and provided a fantastic programme for us at McKee's Reserve. Thanks Richard.
