Zoo Trip :)

Auckland Zoo!

On Friday 4th of April 2014, Room 7, 9 was going on a trip to the Auckland Zoo to find out information about NZ NATIVE PLANTS & BIRDS.

First, when we got there we got divided into equal groups where our caregivers and our teachers were settled. When we were ready we had to go to a small room  on bench seats, we had to squeeze up really tight so we have room for the next class to fit.

Afterwards we met up with the instructors who directed us around the zoo to show us the birds and plants us through the animals that we were able to see their names were Laura, Richard and John they have taken us on a orientation and we had to go with John at first.

Mrs Raj was our group teacher along with Miss Anderson after we settled down into lines John guided us to a lizard room where all the lizard can become invisible at times and we had to stay quiet so it can come out it can stand the warmth of the sun.  

Later on we had to lead out of the Native room and meet up with Laura on the way while we were walking we had to switch to another group like were had to switch constructors and we had to go with Laura and explore many different birds.

While we were with Laura we were visiting different kind of birds and while we were there I felt really satisfied and cold it was freezing like we were visiting Antarctica. So when we explored more beautiful birds we didn’t find it beautiful after Gemima and Anamanu got a good luck from one of the birds. We also explored some of the history trees like the Kauri tree which lived for so long and we saw the Nikau tree when we were done. From there we rotated again and went with Richard.

Meanwhile we were with Richard he led us to the eels and explained how the life of the eels in the Zoo. He stated “when one of the female eels are near of giving birth they will swim all the way to the ocean of Tonga and the babies will swim back to their own parents”  ...Wow how smart is that, it’s like they have visions or some track on their parents. Lols.

Afterwards we had a tiring afternoon  we had to meet up at the end and we had to spread to our group and go and visit other animals it was quite tiring at times we had to visit most of the animals and we get to see strangers and help them out and use our manners.

When we were all done we had to travel back on the bus all the way to school and when we were finish it was after school it was the most enthusiastic trip I have been on so far.
