Solomon bottle feeding the little lamb.
Tahnia enjoyed touching the little lamb.
Kindergarten had a special visit from the Golden Ridge Animal Farm to launch us into our new Science and Technology unit “Environments”.
We met lots of special friends that we were able to hold, pat and even feed! We were lucky enough to meet rabbits, guinea pigs, ducklings, lambs and goats. All students had a turn at bottle feeding the lambs and goats, which they absolutely loved.
Kindergarten learnt lots of new information about caring for farm animals and had such a great time! We cannot wait to learn more this term.
