The trip to the zoo

The trip to the zoo

On Friday 27th July room 18 went to the zoo to find out more about wetas so we can design our own wetas houses so there are are no pest.We had to get split into 5 groups so that it would be easier for miss Zeier and the parents that volunted to come on the trip. We had Dr Victoria-Metcal, Dr Sarah-Morgan,Josh and Mark from Fisher&Paykel.Dr Victoria-Metcal flew into Auckland from Wellington to visit us and Aorere College.First we went to go and have a look at the animals but we only had half and hour and went back to another part of the zoo where a man from the zoo was talking a little bit more about wetas. After he talked about the wetas we went outside and we had the DNA trackers and put them outside and then it was Aorere collages turn to do them. After that we got 1 hour to have a look around the zoo and have a look at the animals my favourite was the tigers.When our group finished looking at the animals we went to the park and we seen miss Maika's group so we all went to the park and played tag.We had a great time thanking the zoo for letting us in to the zoo for free and the parents.
