Trip to the zoo



Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy, It was finnaly time room 1 and 2 was going to the Aukland Zoo! First of all we organized our groups, I was with Arwyn, Samuel, Quin and Aidan. But to top it all of we had thebest parent/teacher ever; Miss Millar. She is incredible and really kind. Anyway once we had finished sorting out our groups we head off for adventure at the zoo. We jogged in with excitement and starde at the beautiful animals that were on display. We ate morning tea and off we went to observe the exquisite animals that lived in the zoo
             
The seals        
 The seals were absolutely stunning, one of them (we named him torpedo) had a little routine. He would come shooting toward the glass like a torpedo and right before he hit he would do a sharp turn and show us his gorgeous belly.

Pabu the red panda
Pabu was my ultimate favourite thing of the zoo because my favourite animal is the panda and there are only two speicies of panda in the world and it feels pretty cool to have one stare at me!

Sarah the samatran tiger
Sarah was beautiful, she was the perfect orange colour with long thick teeth. Right before we were about to leave the tiger had come right up to the window and had a little snooze!

The meercats
I also loved the meercats alot as well, especially going through the tunnels! If you dont know what the tunnels are I will tell you. The tunnels are tunnels with adders leading up to clear domes in the meercat enclosure! It was very fascinating.


Overall I loved all the animals, they were all absolutely stunning! There were alot more animals that we explored but that was just a few. If you are intrested in going to the zoo here is the link, www.aucklandzoo.co.nz

Moving classroom


If you haven't heard yet, room 1 and room 2 moved into their new classroom! It is beautiful and neon! We have 4 break out spaces and a fifth if no one is using it, they all have different things inside of them. 2 of them have no door and the rest do, one of them have a table 2 of them has a kneeling table and the last one doesn't have any thing in it yet as well as the other one. But we still work on the floor in them. One of the hardest parts about moving was finding a new "spot" because in our old old classroom I used to always sit i this one corner. Now I sit in the breakout space with the neon orange table. Here are some photos

This is our big green storage/whiteboard for the teachers to use and put the daily schedule on

We each have our own bag cubbie to put our pencil cases and books and bags in


This is a view of our entire classroom and if you look closely you can see the breakout spaces.
