Students visit wildlife park

Year 3 students from Umina Beach Public School have had the opportunity to go to Walkabout Wildlife Park for an excursion.

The first activity was a ranger walk which taught the students about bush tucker and bush medicine.

During the walk, the students met a frightened emu and ate termites.

They experienced seeing a banksia tree and tried the nectar.

The Year 3 students learnt about bush medicine and the use of the Sydney Bloodwood Tree.

The students got to see different animals in the park including emus, sheep, koalas, wallabies and a peacock.

They learnt about dingoes, flying foxes, snakes and echidnas.
