The Zoo
“Ohhhhh!! When are we going to get there?” I said. “We’re already there,” said Nana. “Oh!” I said. We walked into the zoo and got a map. “Where should we go first?” I asked. “Let's go to the desert land,” said Nana. “Then we can go around this way,” I said. “Here are the zebras, giraffes and ostriches,” announced grandad.
“Wow!!” I said. “Next along here is the meerkats and parrots.”
“Here are the lions they’re so fierce and amazing!!!!” I said.
“Cool and here are rhinos and gazelles and they can jump 2 meters.” “Where are the meerkats aren't they meant to be here?” “Yes,” said Nana,” but they have moved.” “And look!!” I say, “the red panda!!” We saw the elephants and flamingos (and the ice cream store) but the flamingos are white. “Here come on,” said Harvey. 
Enjoyed your recount of the Auckland Zoo visit. You have used lots of direct speech, well done.
ReplyDeleteHighlights at the zoo for me were, the meerkats new enclosure with the tiny tunnel you climbed through for close-up views of meerkats just getting on with life. Also loved seeing the kiwi fossicking around in his dimly lit environment. I rarely see any kiwis so that was special. I'm so pleased you and Harvey were there, especially as you are "kiwi listeners" at your own home.it was a shame we ran out of time to see the tarantula. That will be top of our list on your next visit.
