Did you enjoy yourselves?
We went to the zoo today for our learning journey. We attended two programs.
The first one was a talk on Life Cycles. Specimens of many different types of animals were on display.
Next, we went to the Fragile Forest for a "Behind-the-Scene" program. We saw butterflies, caterpillars, pupae, mice, spiders, giant millipede etc.
Along the way, we also saw some animals in their exhibits.
