Year 3’s Cracking Coconut Adventure! 

On Wednesday, our curious Year 3 students swapped their classroom for the coconut-filled paradise of Hammond Island—and what a tropical treat it was! As part of their science unit on the life cycle and uses of the coconut tree, the students embarked on an exciting excursion to explore the island’s natural wonders firsthand.

They touched real coconuts at different stages and discovered how island communities use every part of the tree—from the husk to the leaves.

There were laughs, learning, and a whole lot of coconut-inspired curiosity. Who knew a humble coconut could be turned into so many things?

By the end of the day, our budding botanists were buzzing with facts! A huge thank you to Ms Leah, Ms Michelle and everyone on Hammond Island for making this unforgettable learning journey possible.
