Pili Palas Nature World

This year our Year 1 Trip was to Pili Palas Nature World. We had a fantastic time and managed to avoid all the rain!!

When we arrived we had a talk about the lifecycle of a butterfly.

We then had a tour of all the animals including the butterfly house, bird house, lizards and snakes, meerkats, farm yard and the bug zone! We all passed around a chrysalis, it was much tougher than we thought and we learnt that a butterfly comes out of a chrysalis and moths come out of cocoons. We were able to touch a snake skin, a snake and hold some creepy crawlies if we wanted to!

After lunch we played in the play areas and explored some more! It was lots of fun!!

Take a look at our photos below!

Year 1 Carnival Day

Our Year 1 Carnival Day was a huge success! During the day the children had their face painted and decorated cakes to sell at the Carnival. In the afternoon we had our Carnival and the children paraded in their masks, headdresses and shook their shakers which they had all made. We then performed our Carnival dance! Thank you to everybody who came to watch! The children thoroughly enjoyed it!
