To compliment the students learning of 'Under

The Sea', the Pre-primary teachers decided to
take the students on a excursion.
I took the role of lead teacher and took careful
considerations and made sure the place of
interest was safe, adult supervision was
adequate and the excursions supports the
children.
I choose the Department of Fisheries - Marine
Waters in Hillarys as the place for our
excursion.
All of Marine Waters educational experiences
and resources are linked to learning areas
within the Australian Curriculum and also
address the Sustainability cross- curriculum
priority.
Other factors to be taken into account when
planning this excursion included the childrens
behaviour and any health or medical needs,
the age of the children, the length of the
outing, the costs and fees, the abilities of the
children, name tags, snacks and lunch, water
bottles, crossing roads and traffic, any contact
with water, leaving the service, arriving back
at school, accidents, toileting and changing
arrangements.
The most important consideration was
thinking about supervision at all times.

After decided on the place and the education

value, I spoke to a representative of the
Department of Fisheries regarding the
logistics of the excursion. She sent me the
appropriate forms to read.
All documents and payments were sent to the
place of excursion and the bus company
All payment and forms from parents were sent
back to me.
Prior to leaving for the excursion all teachers
and parents were given a run down of the day.
Each was given a running sheet of the day.
Students with medical issues stayed with a
teacher who had medication on hand to
ensure their saftey.
At the excursion an intro-duc-tory
pre-sen-ta-tion was given to the stu-dents an
overview of the role that the Depart-ment of
Fish-eries plays in man-ag-ing our aquatic
nat-ural resources
the children then rotated around the
aquarium learning about local marine life with
their specific groups and adult group leader
Children had a lunch break in a chosen safe
area close to access to washing hand facilities
and toilets. If children needed to go to the
toilets an adult would go with to ensure their
safety.
After lunch the children as a whole group
participated an activity Stu-dents search
through a range of marine organ-isms that are
com-monly found on our local beaches.

On reflection I really liked the fact that this

excursion was closed to the public and the
only people inside the facility were the Preprimary, teachers and parent helpers. This
made the excursion a lot safer as I didnt have
to worry about strangers.
The grounds of the excursion wasn't large so I
got to see how the other children were going
and not just the children from my group which
was great.
The students enjoyed the hands on activities
that the department of Fisheries had to offer.
They learnt how to iden-tify and clas-sify
plants and ani-mal organ-isms found on the
beach, while dis-cov-er-ing how they are
related to each other.
Its definitely beneficial to have a running sheet
of the details that need to be covered leading
up to the excursion.
