Orana Park Trip

What a fantastic day we had on Friday - and we were so lucky with the weather!!.

The children were a credit to you all - they listened, asked pertinent questions, and were genuinely interested in what the Zoo School teachers could tell them. We learnt about how the zoo helps animals and how some people harm animals.

We learnt how rhino are killed purely to get their horn (we even all got to hold a horn worth over $70 000.00 that had grown down instead of up and so had been cut from their rhino so she could grow a new one), how giraffes are killed only so their tail can be used as a fly swat, how lions are killed because they kill farmers animals and about other endangered species.

We learnt how we can help these animals and what being endangered means.

Thank you to you all for taking time out of your week to join us. I really appreciate your continued support of my programme.
