Hamilton Zoo

It was a Wednesday morning when Room 4 went to the Hamilton Zoo because we had earnt it by being good and getting all the marbles in the jar.
When we got to school, Mrs Thomson was sorting out the kids who were going with the parent helpers. My Mum was a  helper. We had Paige, Mackenzie, Madeline, Jahnyva, Tyarne and  me in the car.

Mrs Thomson put us in groups and my group had 4 people in it. We  had to unpack our bags and take everything  out  so we had an empty  bag.

After everyone  had unpacked their bags, Mrs Thomson told us what to put in our bags. We only  were allowed to have a hat, a drink bottle, a lunch box and a jacket. The kids started  to slowly walk out of the classroom and go to their parent helper. Jahnyva  and Madeline were singing on the way to the zoo.

Soon,  we  arrived at the Hamilton Zoo. I was  so excited.

First, we waited  patiently for the rest of  the class to   get to the zoo, then we  entered.  I was so happy to go in and  see all the cool animals they had.  

My favourite animals were the giraffes, meerkats, Red Pandas and  the peahens. 

After we had been around the zoo, the whole class had to go into a classroom at the zoo. We saw a mat made out of cheetah fur on the wall. I saw two lizards standing still like a rock. There were some fish and a frog. Matt, a zoo keeper, showed us the whole Hamilton Zoo then we got into the car and drove back to school.
