Zoo Recount

Zoo Recount

Yay! I was so excited because Room 5 was going to the zoo.
We went to the zoo because we were sponsored by the Warehouse
and the Ritchies buses.

Before we started our session we went to see the Red Pandas.
My teacher told us that the Red Pandas eats root and bark.
Then we went to the South American side. My group and I saw
Siamang Gibbons. I always wondered why Gibbons shout a lot. The
other animal my group saw in the South America side was Tarantulas. 

After that we meet with the rest of my class at the education centre.
Hohepa took my class to the Africa side. First we were walking
and then we all smelled something funny and yucky. Then Hohepa
told us that the tree was called Ginkgo tree, that was what smelled
so bad. Hohepa also said that the Ginkgo tree was there for a really
long time. First we saw a Baboon. The Baboon was showing off
his pink bum. Then we saw the Cheetahs. Hohepa showed
us the skin of a cheetah. Hohepa said that the cheetah skin was also
called pelt. We saw the elephant next. We got to hold a tusk. Then the
last animal we saw was the flamingo. The flamingos have really skinny
legs.

When our session was finished we went and looked at the lions,
giraffes, zebras, rhinos, ostrich and nyalas. Then my group went to find
the kiwi house. When we went into the kiwis house it was very dark
and we can hardly see the kiwis. Then we walk over the swing bridge.
We saw one Kea sitting on the branch.

I really like going to the zoo with my class. I have only been to the zoo once. So I couldn’t wait to go to the zoo. When we went back to school I was very happy and a little bit tired.
