Blogging about the zoo 
WALT report, recount and reflect
When: On Thursday week seven term two
Where: The Auckland Zoo western springs 
What: A school trip with all of Te Waka Ako syndicate
Who: The senior syndicate and parents
Why: Because NZ animals are our inquiry subject 
How:By a two story bus

Hi bloggers, on Thursday the senior syndicate went to Auckland Zoo  in western springs for inquiry. We went on a two storie bus to the zoo. When we first got to the zoo we had a tour guide who told us all about the Zoo. Then we went into our groups to look at the animals. The first animal we saw was the Red panda and that was my favourite animal. After we saw the otters, penguins, tigers, wallabies, birds and the bats. 

 Then alll the groups went  back to the front of the zoo where we then went into our classes and were put with a tour guide. When we were with the tour guide we went to see the native or endemic animals. We saw the Tuatara, skink and gecko. Next our group had a talk about the Tuatara and did you know that the Tuatara only breathes once an hour and has been around for millions and millions of years. After we had finished at Tuatara we met outside the check in center getting ready for the bug lab.

 Finally all the groups were told in our groups to make a team name. We were called the killer bees but our parent leader just called us the bees. When we entered the bug lab there was a mini slide which made a bug noise. Then there was a table which had pieces of paper and  a question saying if you could be a bug for one day what would you be. I picked a dragon fly so I could experience flying and be small so I could fit into small spaces. Then I learnt how to make a paper butterfly. My group then went to go outside to get ready for the bus. 
Did you know that the tuatara only breathes
once an hour.

 At the end of the day I really wish that we had more time because I was really disappointed that we didn't get to see the kiwis. I hope to go back again.

This was my favourite animal
that I saw at the zoo.
This is the tiger we saw it roaring at the
top of the mountain like it  was the
king of the zoo.

Did you know that a group of tortoises is 
called a creep.

Meerkats can reach 12 inches in height
 and weigh up to 2 pounds.

Team players Hi bloggers, welcome back to the SLJ for today's activity it asks for us to share what three super powers we would have. Here are the three super powers I would have. Shape shifting - I chose this because I ave always wanted to be able to become an animals of even an object. You would win every game of hide and seek, You could possibly earn animals rust faster because you are the same animal as them. Also April fools day would be the best day for you because you would be able to scare people by becoming an object the jumping out at them or you could become an animal like a Tiger or a lion and run after people then they would realize it was just you. Invisibility - Being able to turn invisible would be amazing because you would be able to scare people and go to restricted areas and sneak around looking at everything in the area. If I could turn invisible I would imagine that it would be like the invisibility cloak in Harry Potter but you don't have to c...
