Zoo Outing

Barely 48 hours after the school sports day, the primary 3 level went on an excursion to the Singapore Zoological Gardens the following Monday. The objective of the trip was to introduce animals to pupils and to teach them characteristics of some animals in order to classify them. The pupils of the entire cohort were divided into 6 groups and led by a teacher and 1-2 parent volunteers. It was a very short trip, considering that the zoo is such a gigantic place. Hahaha....

Not long after we set off, some pupils complained that it was a long walk and they felt tired. No trams, no rides... but we had a good time looking at animals. We saw lions, zebras, baboons, giraffes and many more! The zoo is truly an educational place. Though we did not have sufficient time to go through all the exhibits, I would encourage you to go to the zoo with your family to learn more about these animals.

Indeed, I myself have learnt a lot! The last time I went to the zoo was more than 6 years ago, and the place has really been transformed. =) Certainly looking forward to a whole day's trip to the zoo again!!
