Newsletter 2013 Al Amanah College EXCURSIONS/INCURSIONS KINDY-CALMSLEY FARM YR3-EYE TOWER On Tuesday 22 March, Kindergarten went to Calmsley Hill City Farm. Farmer Tania spoke to students about chickens and ducks, before showing them rabbits. Children learned that a baby rabbit is called a kitten and were given the opportunity to pat one kitten. She then showed them the farm incubator in the nursery. They saw rabbits, goats, and Guinea pigs. Students were then given the opportunity to walk around the nursery and pat different farm animals. Most students enjoyed milking the cow. The farmer spoke about producing cheese, cream, milk and butter from cows. Students saw a camel and met Jack the donkey, before meeting the alpacas. They were then told how the alpacas work with geese as an alarm system to keep the animals on the farm safe. Students then met Clover the Wallaroo and Barny and Beckie the wombats. We then discussed nocturnal animals before heading back on the bus towards School. Thank you to the parent helpers who assisted on the day. Ms Dutrey and Miss Chami As part of the HSIE topic ‘Australian Significant Places’ and the Creative Arts topic ‘Australiana’, Year 3 attended an amazing excursion to the Sydney Tower Eye. It was a very educational experience in which students had the opportunity to go on an inspiring journey of discovery. They watched a 4D movie which brought Sydney to life through breathtaking perspectives, unique views and multi-sensory effects, including wind, bubbles and mist. . On the Observation Deck, the Year 3 students had a 360 degree view of Sydney City, pointing out some previously studied famous and historical Sydney landmarks including Sydney Harbour, Botany Bay, Hyde Park Barracks and Fort Denison. Students also completed a worksheet and enjoyed lunch at the park with their peers. It was a very memorable day indeed. Thank you to our parent helpers for their assistance on the day. Mrs Oueik and Mrs Moksasi YR5-ROYAL BOTANICAL GARDENS The Year 5 students visited the Royal Botanical Gardens on Thursday 31 March. The students completed the Rainforest Explorers Program where they had the opportunity to look at the special habitats and features of rainforest plants. During their exploration, they learned about different threats faced by rainforests and the different uses of trees and plants that grow there. This gave students an opportunity to consolidate what they had learned during HSIE lessons this term. The students had so much fun walking through the rainforest and seeing the colourful and lush native plants close up. It was an amazing experience for all who attended. A special thank you to Mrs Wissam for all her help on the day.
