The Year 2 students, teachers and parents had a fantastic time on our excursion at Moonlit Sanctuary on
Monday, April 27th. After a short delay with one of the buses, we were off on our adventure exploring
the unique features and habitat of many Australian animals. Although we were nervous about the grey
skies, we managed to get through the entire day with just a few showers. Thank goodness, all the kids
were well prepared for rain with their beanies, coats, gum boots and enthusiasm – nothing was going to
spoil our sensational day. The children were split into groups – Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds and
Mammals, smoothly moving from one activity to the next with perfect timing! Each activity had a
special attraction - ‘It’s A Frog’s Life’, ‘Feathers Taking Flight’, ‘Wallaby Walk’, ‘Mammal Mingle’
and ‘Struts, Slithers and Scales’.
The excitement, magic and joy the kids experienced at Moonlit Sanctuary was tangible. What a amazing
day, with many unforgettable memories to be cherished.
