Field Trip to the Zoo!

Last week we celebrated Earth week by visiting the zoo! During the week we discussed why it is important to keep the earth clean. We talked about the animals needing a safe environment to live in and learnt about different animal habitats around the world.  We saw animals from warm habitats; the Komodo dragon, kangaroos, and snakes. We saw animals from cold habitats; the polar bears. And we saw animals from Indo-Malaya region and African rainforest; orangutan, lions, and gorillas.  The children heard from many of the zookeepers and learnt a lot about the way the animals eat and behave. We enjoyed the sunshine while having a picnic snack and took home special sticker albums to help the children understand the various habitats where animals live. THanks for a great day at the Zoo!
