Talofa lava bloggers,
On Monday the 24th of Monday, the middle syndicate was lucky enough to visit the Auckland Zoo to participate in the Zoofari experience. The first exciting highlight of the day was a trip to the Zoo on a double decker bus!

When we arrived, we were greeted by Lizzy who gave us lots of information during our briefing and set us up for our class guided tours along the African Safari track. Our Zoo educators were amazing, they had lots of interesting things to share with us and things that we could feel while we were learning.

Then, under the guidance of our awesome parent helpers, we explored the zoo, ticking off the different animals that we visited on our map. It was really interesting to have the chance to find the animals that we like and have a look at their habitats and how they can be adapted to them.

The final main event for the day was a second educator session. During this time we watched a feeding session for the spider monkeys. We also found out that we can do our bit for conservation by making sure that we buy paper with this special logo so that spider monkey habitats are kept safe.
Have you been to the Zoo before? Do you do something to protect animals? We would love to hear what you do in our comment section below.
Wow Te Ana Ako and Haumia, what an exciting day! I hope to hear from some of you about the interesting facts you learnt and what things you got to touch. The last time I visited the Zoo was in 2019, so I'm looking forward to returning sometime soon. My favourite animals to observe at the Zoo include the; spider monkeys, otters, orangutans and meerkats! I would love to know what the logo looks like on the paper, so that I can help with the conservation of spider monkey habitats. A big 'thank you' to the Zoo staff, your teachers and parent helpers for ensuring you could enjoy this wonderful event. Also thanks to The Warehouse and Ritchies Coachlines for supporting the Zoofari experience.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the zoo is a place we can see animals we wouldn't normally get to see in real life, and how we can find out how to help protect endangered animals. This trip was AWESOME!
