Excursion to Rumbalara
Year 1 and Year 2 students from Pretty Beach Public School visited Rumbalara Environmental Education Centre as part of their science and HSIE studies on August 23.
The students were currently looking at the need for shelters and nature, according to school teacher Mr Chris McInerney.
"Students first went on a bush walk through Rumbalara Reserve observing animal shelters," Ms McInerney said.
"Back at the centre students were then divided into three groups and performed three activities on a rotational basis.
"They were helping a baby possum find her home using picture and word clues; a bird nest making activity in which the students imagined themselves as birds; and finally a discussion and craft activity on the subject of houses for people.
"The students thoroughly enjoyed themselves and learnt a lot about shelters in the process."
