PBS Zoo trip

Most classes in Panmure bridge had the opportunity to go to the Auckland Zoo. We had first went with our Instructor. 

BE - means Behavioral Enrichment which helps the animals with there skills and play just for fun.

Our first stop was at the Several cats. We were in a high place because the several cats could jump up to three meters.Several cats were mixed up with baby cheetah's because they had the same patterns and spots. they have big ears to hear what is happening around. they can also live up to 12 - 18 years. 

Next animal was the Cheetah's. We had walked through a little type of tunnel with glass room where the cheetahs were in. In this room there were plants and trees. Cheetah's can run from 100 km 30s. cheetah's paws help them with a better grip so they can run faster, like rugby shoes. Tail helps with balance when they chase the prey.

We had next gotten onto the next animal which was elephants. Their names Burma who is from Burma and Anjalee who is from Sri Lanka.  For there BE they had sacks that were filled with hay.

Lastly we had gotten onto the Rhinos. We had learnt that their horns were made out of hair and fingernails that is why people always search for them. We had also gotten to feel it. It felt really rocky but smooth.

Mr Wong ( My Teacher) and our group had gotten to explore the whole zoo. We had then met up at the entrance and went back to the school.

I have Enjoyed this trip and experience. I have also learnt different species of and animals and more about them. I would soon like to go to the zoo again.

Hiwi the Kiwi fishing for the future

L.I To be a responsible in the sea and when fishing.
Today Panmure Bridge School had an awesome experience with hiwi the kiwi. The Minstrel and Mrs Minstrel had came into our school to represent hiwi the kiwi.

 We had first learnt about Legal Fish size. This when fishers have a ruler and measure a fish. If the fish is smaller than its usual size, the fishers would have to put the fish back into the sea because it is a baby. We had next learnt about safety of life jackets. It is safe to wear life jackets because there has been a lot of accidents happening like people falling into the sea. When fishing we should also pick up plastic because it harms the sea life and to also help birds. A tip is to wash the fish in salt ice to make it more tasty! You should also pick up a fish with a wet towel so the scale doesn't come of and you wouldn't want your hands smelling like fish.

We had listened to what the Minstrel, Did some challenges and sang some songs. After this we had answered some questions to see if we had listened.
