Our trip to Orana Park

In our class we are learning to take photographs  by 
ourselves.The peacock came to see us when we were 
eating our morning tea.
Today we went to Orana Park. We were looking at endangered animals, and how we can
make a difference to save endangered species. The children are also learning to take photographs. Children from our class took all these photos.
The ducks were happy swimming in the river.  
The Limas had a fight. They were noisy.








The kea is endangered. They are the only parrot
in the world that lives in the mountains. 

Keas have sharp beaks and claws. 
They are very cheeky.

This frog was in the reptile house.

Look very carefully and you might see two skinks.
These ones are brown and they are hard to find. Adele took this photo.

Sam is taking a photo of a green skink.
It lives in New Zealand.

There were lots of ducks.

We fed the giraffes. They came and ate lots of
wattle leaves. They have very long, strong tongues.
We had to hold the branches very tight. One giraffe is
going to have a baby.

The white rhinos are endangered. There were only
30 left in the whole world. Now they have been
saved from extinction.

This rhino horn costs as much as a house.
It came off the white rhino because it grew
so big she couldn't eat the grass.




This Gibbon was born in the wild. He is very special.
He had a terrible life before he came to Orana Park.
