Stories and Reports
Transition – year 2 Excursion
Yesterday we went on an excursion to Tabat-
inga and the Aquarium. At Tabatinga I was
scared on the Jungle gym but Saffy showed
me around and I wasn’t so scared. I liked the
jumping castle because it had a leopard on it. I
also liked the art because I liked the shiny pa-
per and the peacock feathers.
By Ahlia Hartley
Yesterday we went on an excursion to Coffs
Harbour. Then we went to Tabatinga and the
Aquarium. At Tabatinga in the mini golf our
socks and shirt glowed. It was my favourite
part. At the Aquarium we saw the fish ion the
tanks. My favourite part was the sharks.

Sydney Excursion in
250 words Sydney Harbour Bridge Pylon Tour, yeah yeah yeah!. There were 200 steps to the top.
Once we got to the top the view was beautiful, boats sailing the harbour. The opera house
looked big. At the store I brought a key ring. It was so cool, but then we had to walk all the
way back down.
The ABC studio was massive. We got split up into 3 groups. There was 1 group with all of
Wooli and another group with all of Ulmarra. I was in a group with Zac and the rest of the
Wooli kids. Our group got to see Barjo and Goose.
The cruise was amazing! The boat was going pretty fast and the wind was nice. We went
under the bridge. We also went to many other stops. Our school got off at the last stop and
caught a ferry to Toronga Zoo.
The group I was meant to stay with was Grace and Zoe at the Zoo. Sticking together didn’t
really last that long as Grace and I were with the Wooli guys and Zoe went with the Ulmar-
ra guys. Grace and I got lost and ended up going up and down a lift seven times until we
found Mia, she was lost too so now we were all lost. We were meant to meet at the male el-
ephants at four. No one was there. We were running around everywhere. We heard Zac and
Shaun. We were so happy we found everyone.
