Monday Blues? What Monday blues, we were going to the Zoo…haha.
Yes, this was the 1st Learning Journey for the Primary 2 children and they were going to the Zoo.
I woke up around 5.30am in the morning to prepare Anthea’s breakfast and her snack for the trip. She had requested for sushi roll.
I was also going for the trip as a Parent support…hehe. We went to school together and I waited at the canteen with the other PSG for the children to assemble.
We started our bus journey around 8.40am. The children had an early recess at the canteen while waiting for the bus.
On the way to the Zoo, everyone was feeling the excitement and the children were busy chatting away with one another on the bus.
We arrived at the Zoo around 9.30am and started the assignment immediately. Each child has been given a set of notes to complete. There were 5 main stations for them to cover in order to complete their assignment.
The 5 stations were:
Station 1A: Polar Bears
Tasks: to find the names of the 2 Polar bears in our Zoo. One of the bear age and the year he was born. Also listing out the food that the bear eats. The children saw the feeding of the bears at the same time.
Station 1B: Wild Africa
Task: Find out the meaning of Orang Utan. Their Arms length and the shaped of the feet.
Station 2: Fragile Forest
Task: Life Cycle of a butterfly & life cycle of a cockroach

Station 3: Kidz World
Last Station: Elephant @ Work & Play show.
After walking for almost 1.5 hours, the children had a 10 minutes water break at the Kidz world zone. Most of them were hungry by now and ate their snacks happily.
At 11.30am, we were at the Asia Elephant area for the Elephant show. It was a 15 minutes show and it was entertaining, both for the adults & children. Some of them whom volunteered to sit in the 1st row of the show got a splashing good time from the Elephant and they were a bit wet. : )
After the show, we proceeded to the exit and took the school bus back to the school.
It had been an enjoyable outing for the children and I know they will bring back what they have seen in the Zoo to the classroom and shared with one another.
