Blogging about the Zoo
Walt: Report, Recount and Reflect
When: We went to the Zoo in Week 7 of Term 2.
Where: The Auckland Zoo near Western Springs in the Pt Chevalier area.
What: A school trip that follows on from our trip to Tiritiri Matangi in Week 5.
Who: All of Te Waka Ako syndicate, plus 7 parents and 5 staff.
How: Lucky for us, by double decker bus!
Why: To extend our knowledge and inquiry into New Zealand Animals and how they are being
impacted by us.
Thursday in Week 7 saw all of our seniors head out to the Auckland Zoo to check out the New Zealand animals in particular, but anything else too. We all were in groups with six students and had certain times of the day we could roam freely and other parts of the day in educator programmes. Fraser was Hauraki's educator and he was outstanding. He was super cool and hooked the students and adults in to learning ' big time'. The students were so well behaved that the educators met us at the end to praise them and tell them they were the best group they had had through in the last few years!! High praise indeed. Our group loved seeing the penguins and the Ruru owl in the New Zealand sections. And of course who doesn't love tigers. He came up so close to the glass!
The Zoofari programme is an outstanding opportunity for schools to take up. Many of our students either hadn't been to the Zoo or had only been with a previous school trip. The educators we met up with inspired the students so much. They were informative, friendly and upbeat. We also had 45min checking out the Bug Lad that is inside the Zoo at present.

We had lovely weather and could have stayed several more hours to check out all the animals.
