Lion King Jr

We went to watch the lion king performance at Ormiston Junior. We were lucky enough to have this opportunity to go to the performance. My favorite part of the show was when we got to see Pumba and Tamon which were played by Jordan and Avi. The show was so good it was like it was watching the movie. I know how hard it is to do plays because our class has done plays that are a bit shorter then the Lion King.

Zoo trip

L.I to learn about the animals in the Auckland Zoo.
We had first learnt about the animals in Africa. We had learn about giraffes, zebras and ostrich. We learnt that an ostrich can run up to 70 mph (miles per hour). They are heavy and they have not much feathers which are the reasons why they cant fly. The tallest giraffe in the zoo was 15 feet. The giraffes have a blue tongue because the blue toungue helps them not have a burnt tongue.

We then got to see the meercats. They have a communication system. We then got to see the lions which were having lunch. A lions night vision is 8x better than humans night vision. We then got to see the rhinos which are pretty big. They have horns which are made out of finger nail like material. When we saw the zebras we saw a little zebra right next to the mum because zebras have a pretty close relationship.

Next we saw Flamingos and found out that their knees are at the waist, and their ankles are where the knees normally are. We later saw Asian Elephants, specifically Burmese Elephants from the Sri Lanka Region.

After we went exploring around the zoo. We went through the whole of the Africa Region, the Australia Region where we got to see Wallabys, turtles, and more.  We went to parts of the South America region looking at monkeys and more.

Star dome trip

The star dome is a place that you can learn about space and other space related information. We first started at the space room where we had learnt about how far the planets really are and talk about our galaxy. We then went on to a quiz where we had to get into to groups and find the answer that is in the information to answer the question. Once we had finished we had to wait for the others and while waiting we had played angry birds the part that is in outer space because the star dome had it set up for someone to play with. We then went into the Planetarium which is where we learnt lots but the thing that amazed me was the betelgeuse which is a constellation which is called armpit in another language.
