Children were entertained with a variety of investigative and exploratory activities.
The students were able to learn more about the characteristics of some of the larger animals in the district.
They also had the opportunity to inspect some live ‘mini-beasts’ under a large magnification microscope. It was amazing to see the brush-like legs of a millipede, or the scales on a moths wing.
The Zoomobile animals were a hit with all children. A python, a shingleback lizard, a ringtail possum, a green tree frog and an echidna were all introduced to the children.
Ryan, the Zoomobile teacher was full of facts and good advice.
Staff at Bombala Public School said the students all enjoyed the interesting and informative visit.
