Recently the year one and two students embraced the rich environmental and sustainable resources Balnarring Primary School has to offer by taking part in a Bimblemeer Discovery Day. The autumn weather was kind with sun shining and a warm breeze. It was wonderful to see all the children and staff interacting and enjoying themselves as they took part in a range of outdoor activities that integrated key learning areas such as Maths, English and Science.

Whether they were gardening, planting vegies, studying ecosystems, creating bar graphs or drawing impressive charcoal landscapes, when asked the majority of children said they loved making and eating their own pizza the best. Belissimo! How lucky we are to work in an environment that lets the students get so close to nature.

A follow up writing activity confirmed the success of the day as many students passionately recounted the unique sights, sounds and feelings of Bimblemeer and our Wetlands. We’re all looking forward to our next Bimblemeer Discovery Day.
