We are a class of 7 and 8 year olds in Room 14, Otahuhu Primary, Auckland, New Zealand. We hope to share our learning journey with our families and friends through this blog.

Reflecting on our trip to the zoo

We got into groups and reflected on our trip to the Auckland Zoo. We had to write 3 things that we had learnt, 2 things that we thought was interesting and 1 question we still have. This is what my group wrote.
We learnt that giraffes are herbivores because they only eat plant foods. They have long necks so that they can reach up to get the juicy leaves.
Spider monkeys are omnivores because they eat worms, insects,fruits and leaves.
Tigers are carnivores and they hunt down animals like deers and antelopes. The tigers' black, orange, brown and tan stripes helps them to camouflage themselves with their background.
What we found interesting:
Elephants are mammals just like us but their babies can stand up after they are born.
There were also pet animals like rabbits, hens and hamsters at the zoo.
1 question we still have:
Is it good or bad to have animals living in an enclosure at the zoo instead of leaving them to live in the wild?
