Hall Lee Bank Park Visit

Date: 10th Dec 2020 @ 5:02pm

Today Starlings visited Hall Lee Bank Park as part of our learning about the rainforest in Geography. We ventured through the park and immersed ourselves in the visual comparisons between the park and an actual rainforest. We found that the trees were so high that we could really picture the four layers of a rainforest. We followed directions on a map and found some points of interest along the way which was great fun.

We had a fantastic morning in Starlings Class!
