The zoo trip

On Monday the 24th, the year 4 and 3's went on a trip to the Auckland zoo. It took half an hour to get there.
As soon as we got there, we met two zoo keepers. They showed us where we were going to meet. Afterwards, we met a few animals.
Our teacher put us into 3 groups. I was picked to be in Scott's group. The first animal we saw was the huge sea lion. After that, we went and saw the cute penguin under the baby bath tub. After that, we went and had a little snack and we saw the elephants walking around their home.

As soon as we walked off we met the scary lion. We wanted it to roar

 

 but it didn't so we carried on to look at the other animals. We saw the zebra walking with the graiffe.




I wanted to see the red panda  but it wasn't there so we walked off and saw the orangutan swinging

on the trees. It had so much fun and freedom.

At 12:00pm we went and learned about footprints, native friends and pests. We learnt about weka, ghecko and tuatara. We went into a little house and we had 3 students go up and make lizard homes for our friends in
New Zealand.

 

We then went and checked out the fastest animal in the whole wild world which is called the cheetah. It is really fast. It can run 100 laps in one day. Shortly after that,  my group saw the  eels swimming in their tanks with their friends.

Later on, it was lunch time. We sprinted to the dragon playground. We ate on the dragon playground. Finally, we went into the meerkat tunnel. It was so dark! We went in there little tunnel and we didn't know where we were going but we found our way out and it was so easy to get out of the tunnel.
