Stage 2 Excursion

A bus trip to Sydney and an educational cruise on Sydney Harbour was the adventure for Stage 2 on Wednesday September 4th. Flinders, Burke, Cook and Lawson classes and their teachers had a wonderful time on a beautiful, blue sky day experiencing a cruise aboard a ferry with the Lessons Afloat crew. The children were able to see and listen to commentary about things to do with topics learnt about this year - State and National Parks and British Colonisation.
The ferry departed Circular Quay and then passed famous landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, Farm Cove, Mrs Macquarie's Chair, Garden Island, Barangaroo and Darling Harbour. A walk on Shark Island, a national park, was lots of fun and a great way to stretch the legs.
After lunch at Mrs Macquarie's Chair and some play, a final stop for an ice cream was enjoyed by all on the way home. A wonderful day out was had by teachers and children.
