Hi everyone!
What a busy week we've had in Henderson class starting on Tuesday when we all trundled off to visit the zoo. One of the best things about this experience was that it was totally free thanks to the Warehouse and Ritchies bus company who sponsored the whole experience. So a BIG thanks from us all in Henderson.
We were VERY lucky with the weather as recently it seems to have done nothing else but rain. Anyway we were met by our lovely instructor Kirsty who took us for a quick tour of some of the parts of the zoo where we met some animals which are endemic to New Zealand. This basically means they can only be found in New Zealand. An example of one of these animals is a Tuatara which resembles a lizard but is NOT a lizard. These are protected otherwise are in danger of becoming extinct.
We were all looking forward to seeing the animals in Africa and it was so cool to see the elephants and giraffes. There were even some ostriches with HUGE ostrich eggs - waaay bigger than the fertilised eggs we hatched in school. I'm not sure how big the incubator would have needed to be to care for them eggs...
Miss Berry's favorite part of the zoo was Australia because she has was travelling around Australia before she started at Hay Park. It was so cool to see the wallaby joeys being fed by the zoo keepers and the weird rat like creatures called Tasmanian Devils.
Check out our photos. We simply did not have enough time to see everything!!
Til next time... 😀
