The Hamilton Zoo

 Rhegan The Hamilton Zoo 9/12/14
It was a sunny Wednesday. Hamilton Zoo was waiting for us. Mrs Thomson said, "You guys can go in if you want," so my group went in after Mrs G and her group.
First, we went to see the owls. At first, I could not see the owl because it was behind the pole in the brown wooden house.
We moved forward on the rocky path to the next animal - the tuatara. There were no tuatara in the cage so we went to the cafe and, on a screen, we could see the baby tigers.
It was a bit later but then we went to the classroom. We got time to pat the crocodile and look at other thing.
After that, we came back to school.

The Zoo

It was a Sunny Saturday afternoon. JP and Sharna were at the Tuatara Northwest Zoo. 
Sharna and JP were looking at the chimpanzee when the zoo keeper came in to feed it.The zookeeper dropped her keys. She fed the chimpanzee, then she tried to go out the door but, as she approached it, she saw that Sharna had the keys.
She said, “Can you please open the door?”
As Sharna opened the door, the zoo keeper got out, but Sharna got in and she patted the chimpanzee. She smiled back to her Mum. 
She got out and the zoo keeper closed the door and Sharna and JP went to look at other animals.
