On Monday 7th September, the Year 3 class were treated to a visit from Drew Godfrey, a local reptile collector and snake handler.

Drew brought in:

Blue tongued lizard

Central bearded dragon

Bredli python

Jungle carpet python

Coastal carpet python

Brown tree snake

The children were fascinated with the creatures, especially seeing them so close, and have a new respect for the beauty to be seen in them. The demonstration had all students captivated for the entire 1.5hrs !!   

Drew also made sure that the class were taught about what to do if they see a snake when they are in the bush, as well as some simple first aid in case of a bite.

Students will now create an information poster (including a safety message) about one of the reptiles.
