Books and Animals

We had a beautiful, sunny day for our trip to the Children's Book Bank and Riverdale Farm.

The students all got to select a book to take home, free of charge, from the Book Bank! The Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and the graphic novels were very popular with students.

We ate lunch outside the gates of Riverdale Farm in the sunshine and then we saw a variety of animals including goats, horses, sheep, turkeys, chickens and rabbits.

We even had a ride on a streetcar when we were travelling back to school!

At The Zoo

Ten students were visiting the zoo for the first time in their lives today!  Another 5 students had only been to the zoo once before.  No wonder we had a fabulous time checking out all the animals. 

We watched the polar bears, cheetah, otters and penguins being fed.  We learned about the komodo dragon from the zookeeper and saw so many other animals!
