Year 6 Immersed in Sea Life and Wild Life

Year 6 visited the SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium and WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo. The excursion linked to the CLP topic for the term, ‘adaptation’,  It was an immersive journey into the lives of Australia’s animal inhabitants.

After arriving in Darling Harbour by train, the students were split into two groups and went to the facilities separately. Over the course of the day, the students met a platypus, stingrays, grey nurse sharks, little penguins, a dugong, rock wallabies, two Australian death adders, and some koalas. 

• ‘The sea museum made me feel immersed with the sea life,’ Katherine Zhai said. 
• ‘It (the WILD LIFE zoo) was an amazing experience – just like being in the bush,’ Matilda Taor said. 
• The unicorn fish were Sienna Khouzame’s favourite. ‘It was fascinating going under the tunnel with all the sea life,’ she said.
• ‘Today was my first excursion but it was a really great experience,’ Hailey Yam.

Year 6 learned so much and loved the experience. Though they were all tired and sore by the end of the day, they said it was worth it.
