Firstly we walked to the front of the school to jump onto the bus. As half an hour passed the wheels of the slow vechicle stopped the bumps came to an end and,and we were at the zoo. Our group saw the pridelands first. In the pridelands there are giraffes,zebras and ostriches. The giraffes adapt to their surroundings by reaching high into the trees to get food for themselves. Next we saw the rhinos. They were absoulotly boring! After that we saw Burma the elephant and we had morning tea next to her encloser. When we finished eating we walked to hippo river and saw one hippo. It adapts to it's surroundings by going under water. Later we went to see the botton-toped tamarins. We also saw the orangutans.Did you know that if a orangutan pulls your arm he/she can pull it right off? They can also squish your ribs together if they gave you a happy hug. Then we went to the education room to do some learning. After some educational fun we had some brain food to make our brains feel like ... SUPER BRAINS! After our group had lunch we planned what we were going to see. Renaye chose the meerkat tunnel. Lily chose the rainforest and I chose the sealions. First we saw the sealions. They were awesome. Next we saw the meerkats. Then the main event. THE RAINFOREST. The rainforest had spidermonkeys,golden lion tamerins and monkeys that make this noise oohh,oohh,oohh. After the rainforest we saw three HUGE tortises. As we moved on we saw three birds. 2 of them were blue and the other was red. 10 minutes later we hopped onto the bus and came back to school. Once again it took half a hour to get back.That trip was awesome I want to go again.

Yesterday on the 24 of February all the year fours walked tiredly over to Lloyd Elsmore Park. That particular day I found out some things that you can  do there. 1. Watch movies in the theatre. Well we didn't do this but it was the first building we had to find on our list. 2. Play netball at the netball courts. We did not do this either, still it was something to look for. You can also train to fly a plane, go feed the ducks at the pond​ and bring marbles to the marble park. At Lloyd Elsmore Park we used acorns instead of marbles. We also saw a hockey court, an athletic club and the Lloyd Elsmore park athletics track. My group had three people including the parent. These people were Lily Dyson, myself and Lily's mum, Mrs Dyson. We also had lunch at 12 o'clock, earlier than people at school do. Straight before we had lunch we went on a really big playground for an hour, the octopus was really popular. The second most popular thing was a spinner that went as the speed of light. Lots of people screamed when the spinner went r​ound and round until someone shouted **STOP!** On the way back to school we walked across three roads. It took forever for the other classes to catch up to our own class. Two minutes later we were inside our school gate. As we walked past the office we saw the year threes still eating lunch,after all it was still lunch-eating time. We had a lovely time at Lloyd Elsmore Park. I hope we go there for a trip next year .media type="custom" key="7764405"
