The local learning project was a day long activity where the primary school kids of Orbost Primary School visited us at SRC. The students of Orbost Primary School (OPS) engaged in activities that we had prepared for them. Jacob and I were in separate teams so we had each prepared different activities. Jacob ran an informative class on whales. His segment was named “Wonderful Whales.” My team ran an activity that was named “Snakes Are Real, Hear The Squeal.” This program focused on the dangers of snake bites and how to treat a person who has been bitten. We had a small role play on how to treat a snake bite where a member of our team ran out of the bushes pretending that they had been bitten. This was welcomed by the other people in the team as they treated and informed the injured person and the students.

Overall our program went really well and the kids embraced our activities with pleasure and enjoyment. They learnt about many different aspects of the local environment and how they can respond to this information. We had a great day and got just as much out of the day as the younger Orbost students.
