ZOO ADVENTURE

What a beautiful day we had for our Zoo excursion. It was warm and sunny and all the animals were out enjoying the spring sunshine (a little early). We had SO many parent helpers that it was a stress free day with plenty of learning going on.
While we were in the room with Claire, the parents enjoyed a coffee and we learned a lot about animal coverings.

When we arrived at the Zoo, we had a quick morning tea to get us fit for the day.

When we went into the Education room we learnt a lot about animal coverings with Claire.

We felt the pelt of a tiger.  It was very old and fragile and we had to be super gentle in case it broke. Claire tucked the legs in under the body part.

Bo had the dried body of a seahorse to sort.

Harry got to feel a shark's egg.

We were allowed to stroke Big Boy - a lizard. We had to be careful to rub from the head to the tail so we didn't hurt the scales.

Indee, Emily, Abby and Emily found a friend at the zoo.

We had a wonderful day and were very tired on the bus trip home. :)
