Our Visit from Monty


On Friday 10th August 2012, we visited the National Aaquarium of New Zealand.  We got the opportunity to get up close and personal with a few of the residents that live there. We felt the skin of the Blue Tongue lizard and touched the shell of the Red Eared Teripin and the Chinese Box Tortoise.
All the children really enjoyed the hands on experience, feeling the different textures of their shells and skin. They learned how to handle the animals and were very gentle as they touched each one.
A big thankyou to all the staff of the Aquarium who sahred their knowledge and showed the children how to care for the animals, also to the educarers and parents who attended, I'm sure everyone had a great learning experience.
