On April 1st the ESI class headed out with our Grade 3 class for a day at the Zoo. All week we had been worried as the weather forecast called for rain on that day. Thanks goodness the rain never came and we had a lovely day visiting the Lions, Komodo dragons, Dinosaur park and the stars of the day, the Penguins. In our classroom we have studied five different species of penguins including Rockhopper, King, Emperor, African and Fairy. We looked at all the areas of the world where you find penguins including Africa, South America and Australia. Everyone was surprised by the size of the Fairy Penguins from Australia. Our favourite zoo penguin was the Rockhopper with his yellow spiky "hair". We ended the day in the new dinosaur exhibit with the T-Rex and Velociraptor!
