Auckland Zoo Trip

Room 5 had a wonderful day at Auckland Zoo.

On the way to the Zoo Room 5 got to ride on the top deck of the double decker bus!
Here are a few photos of us on the bus.

We arrived at the Zoo and all gathered for a brief talk. 
The Zoo keepers talked to us about keeping safe in the Zoo.

Then we were off to ... The Pridelands!

We saw so many animals...

• giraffes
• zebras
• meerkats
• rhinoceros
• flamingos

Then we stopped to have morning tea with the elephants!  Here are a few pictures of us watching the elephants as we ate our morning tea.

Next we headed to the Zoo classroom. Our teacher was Fraser! He talked about classifying insects.
We got to have fun with lots of insects. Here are a few pictures of us in the Zoo classroom.

After that it was time for lunch.  We had lunch at the Zoo playground (of course we had a small play)

Then we saw... otters and tigers!  We walked on to see lots of  Australian animals. Here are a few photos of Room 5.

Next we saw...

Finally we made it to the Bug Lab! What a wonderful exhibition for children to explore.

Room 5 had a fantastic day! A big thank you to our amazing parent helpers Mary and Dermitt!
