Our Life Cycles and Interactions program is specifically designed for Grade 3 and 4 students, providing real-world examples to help Teachers explore the curriculum descriptors shown at the bottom of this webpage.
Our experienced Education Officers will facilitate a comprehensive program, in which Learners will:
- consider the diversity and significance of Australian wildlife, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and invertebrates.
- explore the varied ways these animal groups have their young and
- appreciate and understand how species relate to each other, and how they interact with and are linked to specific habitats
- have opportunities to consider how these factors, in addition to climate and weather, impact the survival of Australian wildlife, especially threatened species, while also informing the conservation work Moonlit Sanctuary is involved in.
