An Educational Trip
As part of our research study about Kea, our whole class in Level 1 ESOL went on an educational trip to Willowbank Wildlife Reserve on June 4.
We all left the school a couple of minutes after Period 1. When we got there, we were separated into three groups to roam the place with a teacher. Along the river, many ducks and swans were floating on the water. I also saw many new animals there.
At 11 am, all of us met at the Kea enclosure. The keeper talked a lot about the Kea birds while feeding them using a spoon. It started raining a little bit so we went in to a small shelter nearby where she, the keeper, answered our prepared questionnaires about the Kea birds. After that, we went to the Kiwi nocturnal house and I saw two of them. We spent the rest of our time exploring the barnyard and eating some snacks in a cafe before heading back to school.
That trip was a fun way of learning and relieving stress.
Lovely
ReplyDeleteThis is a great recount. I enjoyed your connection to stress relief... Can you tell us something of what you learned about the kea during the visit?
Thank you Mr Sutton, your comment is very encouraging! I will publish a separate blog post about the Kea this week and it will be an information report text.
