Zoo Recount

Zoo Recount

YAY! I was so excited because my class room and I went to the zoo. We went to the
zoo because the Warehouse sponsored us and Richies gave us free buses. 

Before we started the learning session we went to see the Red Pandas.
Then we went to the Australia section and saw the Wallabies and Emus. There were
two emus and one was looking around and the other emu was looking after the eggs.
After that we went to see the parrot. It was called a Macaw. Then we went to South
America section and I saw Tarantulas, Spider monkeys and Alligators. 

After that we met at the education center, we went with Hohepa to see the baboons.
It had a pink bum! Then we went to see the Cheetahs. Hohepa showed us a pelt, it
still had claws and paws on it. After that we went to see the Elephants they were inside
and they were putting bark on their backs. Their names are Burma,
Anjali they’re both girls. The keeper opened one of the Elephant’s mouths. Then
Hohepa showed us an Elephant tusk and told us that people hunt Elephants for their
tusks. Then he showed us a book that was made out of elephant poo. Finally
we went to visit the flamingos they had straight and skinny legs. 

After our session with Hohepa we had lunch then we went to see the Porcupine.
Then we all met at the playground and most of the kids went on the big long slide.
My favorite part was when I went on the long slide. After going on the  playground,
we went to see the kunekune pig. They were big. After we went for one last walk
we and we saw the two lions. I also saw one lion eating their food. 

I had so much fun going to the zoo and I hope I can go with my family to the zoo one day. I think my favourite part of the day was the Elephants and the Cheetahs.
