Our wonderful Foundation students had an exciting day at the local Bundoora farm. The staff greeted us with big smiley faces and spent the day showing us around.
We enjoyed a ride into the bush and laughed as the hungry emus chased us for food. We spotted many sleepy kangaroos resting in the shade and kept our eyes open for joeys. We searched the veggie patch for hidden treasure and talked about the different things plants need to grow.
Making scones was a real highlight for everyone, even if we did have to wait till the end of the day to eat them. Feeding chickens and goats, holding a guinea pig and a milking a goat were memories we will all have forever.
It was really wonderful to see smiles on everyone’s face, even though it was hot. We hope the children had many stories to tell their parents when they got home.
A big thank you to the wonderful parent helpers who joined us: Without you, the day would not have flowed so smoothly.
