On Tuesday 31st October, Year 2 visited the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney.
During the excursion, the students were able to explore the Botanic Garden and learn about minibeasts and much more! The day included:
- a walk through the garden – noticing lots of different animals, trees and flowers
- digging in soil to find minibeasts
- holding worms
- swishing nets in water to find living things
- looking at specimens through a microscope
- looking at silk worms and moths
- looking at stick insects
- playing a game on an iPad
- sketching minibeasts
- walking through the Calyx to view the beautiful pollination display.
Everyone had such a great time, including the teachers and the parents!
Thank you to our lovely parent helpers who helped us on the day!
Take a look at the photos below!

Dear Teachers and Students,
My favourite part of the excursion is when we got to find the insect and I found a insect when they was just explaining. I also liked it when we were looking for the minibeast in the water. One group even found a little fish and everyone made a big fuss.

The excursion to The Royal Botanical gardens was really exciting, I enjoyed it a lot. The best part of the excursion was when we dug under the dirt with paintbrushes and put it in a jar. I also liked it when we saw a powerful owl.

Dear Year Two,
My favourite part was when the worms we’re wriggling in my hand.
When we went inside the building I didn’t like the activity with the ipads Because it wasn’t that fun.
I loved the part when I got to feel the moths because they we’re so soft and warm.
I liked the part when I used the net to catch minibeasts.
The worst part of the day was recess because it was full of ibises.
I loved lunch because there was not even a single ibis.
The second worst part was when we had to leave because when I go somewhere that is a fun place, at the time I have to go I get EXTREMELY upset.
I hope I get to go there again.
It was a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Year Two,
I liked digging for tiny minibeasts because I wondered what type of them I would get. I also liked seeing the big, powerful owl that sat on a very large tree.
I did not like to walk much because it was tired and sweaty.
I learnt that minibeasts are important and that we should look after them.
