Orana Park Thursday 11 May

Today we spent at awesome day at Orana Park learning about the habitats of different animals. Even though it rained a bit in the middle of the day we still had lots fun.  We saw so many wonderful animals! One of the highlights for T11 was getting to feed Harriet the Giraffe. Here are some photos of our day.

 Everyone inside the Zoo School

Watching the Tiger

 We were so lucky to see the Whio ducks!

This is where we get our studio name from- The native blue duck 'Whio'

Here we all are looking for the cheeky Kea. They were hiding up high.

At the Lions we leant that even big cats like boxes!

Lizards and Geckos

The cheetahs had very cool spots!

We saw that Palm oil is a big problem for animals as their habitats are being destroyed. This was a simple message.

It was wonderful to be able to sit and watch the 3 Gorillas. 

 How big are your hands?

Feeding the Giraffes 

We loved these little guys- So alert!

We couldn't believe how big and spiky the porcupine was!
