 On Monday 10th May we had an amazing time at the Auckland Zoo for our school trip. We had an educational, inspirational and fun trip! 

"We learnt the adaptations of the animals" said Sufyan.

"Flamingos are pink because they eat shrimps!" said Alisa.

"We learnt about their habitats" said Kevin.

"We learnt that giraffes can camouflage themselves in the Savana" said Brooklyn.

"My group saw a massive rat in the Cheetah enclosure!" said Dylan.

"Spider Monkeys live in the rainforest and they need their tail as they use it as an extra hand!" said Mason.

"Also, Spider Monkeys have no thumbs so that it doesn't get in the way when they climb and they swing by their tail" said Daniel.

"We also learnt about the animals habits" said Alana.

"The male ostrich  has black feathers so it can camouflage at night and the female ostrich has grey feathers so they can camouflage in the day" said Ryan.

"Meerkats can climb very well" said Katelyn.

"Meerkats have special claws and they can't feel the hot sand in the desert." said Mia.

"I learnt that certain animals, like zebras, have different patterns on their bodies to confuse the flies" said Madeline.

"Asian elephants are way smaller than the African elephants" said Mason.

"One of the rhinos had cuts on the body!" said Dylan.

"Zebras have all got different patterns on them, they are not all the same!" said Mason.
