Recount on zoo trip

 When: Wednesday

Who: The whole school of Edmund Hillary School#

Where: At the zoo

What: Looked at animals and ate lunch

How: Went on 6 busses



On Wednesday I was walking my way to school. After a few seconds my class opened. Sheona called us all to class then she gave us our name tags. A few Minutes later I walked my way to the bus with my whole class. On the bus we sang songs like ka waiata, He honore and a lot more. After we played , I think karson was the master.


We walked out of the busses and sat down on the ground in the main area of the zoo. The instructors told us to stick with our parents and listen. Also she said don't feed the animals because they were in a duet and dont touch them. In our group was Hesioni, Luke, Karson, Vakasa, Murray and me.


Then we started our adventure. We walked to the bridge then saw Zebras and Giraffes. They were so tall like the sky tower and the Zebras were just eating like a hungry person. Next animal was Ostrich whose neck was so long and their legs were long and they stink but were skinny         but the weird thing was they were shaking. I don't know why.


After the Ostrich we saw a flamingo after that we looked for the Elephants but they had to wake up at 11:35. While we were waiting it started to get boring so we ate lunch. When we finished we went to go see the birds. It was cool because we got to see them fly, sleep, eat and look at us. They weren't like the other animals like standing still and not moving.


Next we saw the spider monkey. It was so crazy, fast and funny. The lonely monkey was eating so much it was just minding its own business. A monkey was getting its food and it nearly fell off the tree. But luckily it didn't because they were professional.


Next what we saw was the gorilla. The gorilla were so funny cuz they always fell down and the other monkeys were laughing after that we saw alligators they were standing still i knew why they stand still cuz that's how they get their preys you might think their dum but they stand still so that when people think their fake but when you get closer they will attack you after that we had to go because zoo was closing then when we got back to school then went home. 



Hesioni and Faafua
