When We Went to Hamilton Zoo

It was a sunny and good day. Room Four and I had earned lots of marbles for our good behavior and we were going to the Hamilton Zoo to learn how animals live and for our project.

We were walking to our first animal in the zoo - the cheeky monkeys. They were hanging upside down. There were big long logs going across in the huge cage. They were leafy.

“Chatter! Chatter! Chatter!” chattered the two noisy birds. They were so white, they looked like snowmen on the thin sticks that went across their cage. To me, it looked like they were dancing on their yellow stick legs on the thin sticks.

Thirdly, we walked to the fat Red Panda’s big jungle cage. “Where is it?” thought our group.

Suddenly, we spotted the lazy fat Red Panda fast asleep on a wide flat brown log that lay across the enclosure.

Next, we walked to our next animal, which were

was the rhinos. They were stomping around on the hard ground.

“Try not to get them angry!” warned Mrs Thomson.

“ Okay,” we replied.

The fat rhino was up close, staring at us as if he was going to run at us.

“Nice and still, nice and still,” we said, sacredly.

The good thing was that it didn't hurt us.

We next walked into the Zoo Classroom. The teacher who was there was Ken and he showed us around. The classroom was fresh but it had dead animals that had been alive before but they had died. He told us all about animals and how they live.

Wow, that was fun at the zoo. I need to go again.
