Orana Park

 Hey readers,

So this week our senior school which is year 7 and 8 gone to Orana Park for the day, We went their in a car for transport. When we where on are to Orana Park there was a massive jump and i didn't even notice because i was talking to Rico, and then suddenly it felt like low gravity and we just jumped in midair in the car, after the jump everyone just started laughing. When we finally got there after a long car ride we saw are school on the other side of the car park so we went over to them and they got us into 2 lines room 5 and room 6, we had to listen to all the instructions, so Sarah ( our instructor for the day ) led us to zoo school which is were they they tell us what animal we are going to see next and all about the animals, so Sarah led us to the frogs which was axolotls and other types of frogs on the left side there are native animals from New Zealand and on the right there is non native animals, after we saw the frogs we went to the tigers which was laying down on the ground but when it saw us it got up and was guarding its territory then the other tiger was just chilling in the shade behind a tree, next we saw the lions they were just sitting down not moving, we kept going round the zoo and then we gone to the cheetahs which was really cool because we saw one up close and then we saw it walk away to the other cheetahs, but then it was lunch time so we had some lunch and then we went to see the gorillas but on the way to the gorillas we saw other animals like Wild African dogs that were just running around, we also saw some addax that were just lying down because it was a hot day for them, but them we saw the gibbons which was perfect timing because they were just getting fed as we got there and we saw them run and it was weird because there arms are massive but there legs are tiny, they need long arms in the wild to help them swing from tree to tree, after we saw the gibbons we finally saw the gorilla he was bigger than i though he would be, he was eating protein that the keepers put all over the ground which helps them get big and strong, after we left the gorillas we gone to the giraffes and we got to feed them and when i was a baby a giraffe lifted me up so i was pretty scared to feed it but i did it and his grip on his tongue was so strong and his tongue was purple and blue, after we fed the giraffes we gone to the Rhinos which were just lying down in the sun. After we visited all the animals we had to go back to school, we went in the same car and i was talking to Rico about all the animals and then hes just like "yo the jump is right there" so then we went over the bump and we went flying in the air and it was so fun then we all started laughing.

  1. Thanks for sharing about our Orana Park trip Preston. It was great learning all about animal classification and adaptations. Did you have a favourite animal or a fact that you found particularly interesting?

    I enjoyed watching the Siamang Gibbons playing and I agree that it was good timing to see them being fed too.

    Hopefully this Lockdown won't last too long and we'll all be back at school soon!

    Take care,
