Whether they're furry, feathered or have scales or skin, our animal friends are fascinating.
This program is a unique opportunity for students to explore animal body coverings and animal groups through a range of interactive and multi-sensory experiences.
Through exploring and hands on animal encounters, students appreciate the role of animal features and ultimately understand that animals have a diverse range of adaptations to aid survival. Exploring similarities and differences, interacting with unique wildlife and appreciating the world from another's perspective are just some of the understandings your students will build whilst engaging in this interactive program.
