Term 3 zoo trip to Bug Lab

-
On Wednesday all the junior school were lucky enough to go to the zoo. Here are some writing recounts and photos from their trip.


On Wednesday the whole junior school went to the Auckland Zoo. I was going with Steven who is Sophie’s dad. We saw some animals and then we saw two red pandas climbing on the massive tree. I heard some birds tweeting so loud. Some birds were flying high. It was frightening those loud, loud birds. We went to play on the enormous long slide. I saw Seine letting the people in. I felt jolly because there are awesome animals at the zoo. I touched the fluffy, hairy pig.

On Wednesday I went to the zoo. I saw a giraffe and it had a long, long neck. It was stretching its neck for some leaves from the tree. The zebras were looking for some grass to eat from the ground. We went into the Bug Lab and we went in a bee tunnel. I heard the elephant’s trunk make funny noises. I touched the fake bee in the tunnel and the fake honey too. We had to rub it to make it warm and hot. I was in Jimmy’s group at the zoo, he is Neena’s dad.

At the zoo I saw cute little servals. They look so cute with their cute, adorable fur and ginormous ears. I heard a lot of monkeys screaming. When we went into the Bug Lab my favourite activity was rubbing the beehive until it was hot and the bees ate its prey. My daddy was there as a parent helper and Rima and Azariah who were in my group.

Yesterday when I went to the zoo with the junior school we had to go in groups and I went with Pa. In my group was Charlie, Elmaniath and Ati. Me and my group went to the park and kidszone. We even had ice cream I heard the tigers roaring loudly because they wanted food. I saw the giraffes eating leaves with their tall, tall, necks. I touched the slide in the Bug Lab.

On Wednesday we went to the Auckland Zoo to see animals. I heard the pig go “oink” and we laughed and then we saw Elijah being a show off where the elephants were. Me and Tevita got anygry at Elijah because we wanted some hot chips. We went on the park to go on the crocodile and I went with the junior school. An activity that I liked from the Bug Lab was the one that you rub the light until it gets up to the hottest one.

On Wednesday the whole junior school went to the Auckland Zoo. Jimmy was there with us he took us to see the Spider Monkeys swinging on the trees. The daddy Spider Monkey was holding his baby and he was running on the trees. In the Bug Lab Jimmy took us to the slide. The zoo was incredible because the Bug Lab was colourful, my favourite activity was the bee game when you swipe your hand over the button.

Yesterday the junior school went to the zoo. Steven, Sophie’s dad took us to see the Tasmanian devils first. Then we went to see the slow poke tortoises. They were enormous. We went to have a look at some other animals. The giraffes were very, very noisy. We went to the amazing Bug Lab and it was incredible. I touched the fat pigs and they were hairy.

On Wednesday, I went to the zoo with Eve’s pa, Atimosfia, Eve and Charlie. We saw some massive animals and some little animals. We saw the kid zone and went inside there. We went into the amazing park and I heard people talking. I did a sliding competition with Eve. Charlie and Atimosfia. I felt jolly because I went inside Bug Lab and I got to play on an IPad.

On Wednesday the whole junior went to the zoo. The only animals I saw was the spider monkey and the normal monkey. In my group was Eve, Elmaniath, Ati and even Eve’s Pa. My favourite animal was the pig because he was funny when he said “oink oink”. It was so loud. When we went into the bug lab I saw a big praying mantis be. I was trying to kill the zombie praying mantis in the Bug Lab.

Author Study

This term the junior school are doing a NZ author study. Each week we will be looking at some New Zealand authors and reading their books. This week Room 19 were focusing on Lynley Dodd who wrote the famous Hairy Maclary books. Here is some of the kids responses to characters in her books. Hercules Morse is my favourite dog from the books because he is the giant of the team because he is fat. Hercules Morse is the fattest dog who jumps up high from Scarface Claw because he is so scared of him. By Roman Schnitzel von Krum is my favourite dog from the books because he is like the shape of a sausage. He is little and funny because his tummy can nearly touch the ground and he has got short, little legs that can’t jump very high. By Monty Hercules Morse is my favourite dog from the books because he is gigantic like  a big horse. He can run very fast like a car and he is the biggest dog of the group. By Juni Slinky Malinky is sneaky at night time. He is a thief....

This year Room 19 focused on using mixed media to complete their pieces of art to tie in with the BLUE theme at school. First we explored shading and blending with paint on corrugated cardboard. We wanted to create some real life like waves. Next we used pastel to draw our taniwha and coloured them in. We had to go over the outline with black indian ink to make them stand out. Next we had to cut out the waves to make it look like the real moana.  The last step was to use coloured tissue paper to collage our sun set background. Viola there you have it. Our masterpiece is now complete!
