Field Trip - Visit to the National Zoo

Early in the morning, the children had already got ready with their stuff. Around 8:30am, we boarded the bus and headed for the National Zoo. The weather was good, the children were in high spirit, ready to paste those animals pictures in their zoo trail assignment.

We reached the zoo around 10am. After settled down everyone, we started off by visiting the Panda Centre. Pandas were sleeping.  I thought we could see them moving at least. No luck!

Then, we moved on to the ape centre and other animals. The children had some hard time getting started with the assignment as they also needed to jot down the names of the animals. They didn't know where to look for the name. After a few try, they realized that at every section there's a notice board. It is the information about the animals. Some of them even try to read about the animals' diet, ages etc.

We had lunch at about 1pm. After that, we moved on to the other part of the zoo. This time, the children will search for the information board to confirm the name of the animals. Wow, they learn quite fast! Due to insufficient time, we couldn't stop at each animal section to complete the assignment. Therefore, I get the children to help to remember our journey on that part so that we could continue with it when we go back to school.

Lastly, the visiting was ended by watching animal performance by the zoo. The children were quite excited yet exhausted.
