Term 3 Art Finished and looking stunning

Auckland Zoo

What an incredible at Auckland Zoo. This was a great opportunity to see what you  have been learning at school and how Auckland Zoo is doing their part. The keepers were blown away with the information we shared with them and our understanding. WELL DONE TEAM

We learned heaps about tracking 'pests and pals' and what can be done to help these pests and pals. We worked out if we were ape or human and how to work out the differences - with some very interesting results!

What did you LOVE about today? What did you LEARN? What did it make you THINK about?

"Today we are exploring the Zoo. We have been looking at all the endangered animals but we have also been looking at other animals. We have been also looking at the native New Zealand animals and it was really cool." Morgan
