As part of Term 3's animal studies program, Cycle 2 went to the Melbourne Zoo. We set off in the morning with worried looks at the cloudy skies above….. but we were determined to have a wonderful day. We all rugged up and arrived at the zoo raring to go...

Daniel: "I enjoyed drawing the White Cheeked Gibbon. I enjoyed watching the penguins who weren't doing much except walking."
Piero: "I liked the meerkats because they look really cute when they stand on their hind legs."
Madisan: "I liked the monkeys the most because they looked cute when they were swinging on the branches."
Ruby: "The Zoo was really good and I liked every single animal that was there. I liked seeing the elephant being washed and scrubbed. The big cats were exciting and the monkeys were funny."
Jaiden: "I liked everything at the Zoo but my favourites were the meerkats and the penguins. The penguins are cute."
Tristan: "I liked the Meerkats and the seals. The seals were swimming very fast under the water. I liked the Meerkats because they are so cute and one came up and tapped on the glass right infront of me."
Molly: "I liked the big cats because they look nice and cuddly. My favourite big cat was the Snow Leopard. It was grey and had black spots. It lives in the mountains in Asia."
