Wildlife Wonders

Recently students from Prep W and Prep KC discovered a mother possum and her baby sleeping in a stump in the playground. The students’ excitement and interest led to discussions about caring for our local wildlife, and was a wonderful link to our Science investigations about nocturnal animals. Unfortunately, the baby possum was found separated from its mother later that week, and is now being raised by a wildlife carer. The students were very respectful and quiet when they were lucky enough to get a close up look at the little possum.
