On Tuesday, a few people from room 5 and 6 went to Orana Park. Thanks to St Joseph's Rangiora, they had fund raised money and decided to invite us on the trip, so it was very kind of them to do that.
It was a really enjoyable experience and we learned many different facts about different animals. There were giraffes, gorillas, lions, rhinos and zebras. Did you know, a mother zebra leaves the herd so she can give birth to her baby? When her child is born, they both stay away from the herd for a few days so the mother can imprint on her child. They do this so they can recognise each other in a herd of other zebras. Their stripes will eventually appear.
I also loved being able to hold a Rhino's horn and seeing the giraffes being fed.
If you can, visit a zoo and you can find out more facts on animals.
