💚We had a beautiful adventure at the Herdsman Lake Discovery Centre. Kim from the Centre welcomed us and guided the children through engaging learning experiences.
🍃 Before setting off, the children shared our predictions and expectations about what we thought we might discover. We also talked about how to stay safe and respect the natural environment during our excursion.
🍃 Under the cool shade of Paperbark gums, we enjoyed stories, and learned Australian animals, plants and Aboriginal cultures. The children had the opportunity to scrunch eucalyptus gum leaves in their hands and smell their fresh scent.
🍃 We walked through the Paperbark forest and spotted so many incredible local animals, including ducks, a Tawny Frogmouth Splendid Tree frog, spiky caterpillars, coots, moorhens, night herons, fish, a lot of different plants, and pond weeds. 🦆 🐸 🐛 🐦 🐟 🌱
