Forest Full of Wonders

Using all our senses

Our youngest scientists will use all of their senses to gather information about the world around them as they explore one of the Park's natural bushland habitats. They will explore the basic needs of living things through a sensory story, a bush treasure hunt and an encounter with real native animals.

In this program, your Pre-Primary students will:
✔ Identify some native Australian animals and what their needs for survival are.
✔ Participate in guided investigations and make observations using the senses.
✔ See how the way different Australian animals move depends on their size and shape.

This program will be delivered outdoors, either in Woodland Reserve, Whiteman Park's fauna conservation breeding facility, or the Children’s Forest - a bushland restoration area planted by children and their families in a community ‘forest’.
