Our Wild Explorers dived into their learning by working in teams to sort and classify pictures of animals based on their coverings - scales, skin, feathers, fur and shell.

The Prep’s became real-life Wild Explorers as they packed their bags, jumped on the bus and headed off on an adventure to the Melbourne Zoo! As we roamed the Zoo, the Wild Explorers worked in groups to snap pictures of the many animals, big and small. They used their senses and made observations, discussed the options and classified the animals accordingly.

With this newfound knowledge, students returned to school ready to design a Zoo for the future! They worked in small groups to plan, design and create a new layout for the zoo animals! Our Zoo designers loved this hands-on, creative and collaborative activity where there was a buzz of discussion, decision making and problem-solving.
