Australian Animal Petting Zoo Incursion

This term Room 7 have been learning all about Australia. We have looked at the states and territories that make up Australia, the national foods, the native animals and Indigenous Australians. This week we attended an Australian animal petting zoo. We got to see and touch four different types of Australian native animals. First we met the koala. Did you know that koalas sleep for 20 hours a day, they have two thumbs and they don't drink water. Next we met Yappa the Dingo. Dingos are similar to pet dogs but they howl and have extra sharp teeth. Finally we got to hold two snakes and touch a blue tongue lizard. We had such a great time and each got given a toy koala.
