Excursion to Rumbalara Nature Reserve

Year 1 students from Umina Beach Public School recently had an excursion to Rumbalara Nature Reserve.

"Students completed crayon rubbings of man-made and natural features at the lookout picnic area," said deputy principal Ms Sharlene Percival.

"After that they designed their own maps of the area and included symbols for each feature and a key to unlock the symbols," Ms Percival said.

The students went on a bushwalk along the Flannel Flower Track and onto the Casuarina Track.

"Students stopped regularly to observe animal homes and features of the bushland trees and sandstone and even got to sit in a small cave."

The students also visited the Rumbalara Education Centre where they learnt about local aboriginal shelters and were able to build their own gunyah, which is a small temporary home built by aborigines in the area.

Students were also educated on local wildlife while participating in a treasure hunt to see the animals that lived in the reserve and their habitats.
