My Trip to Willowbank

On Tuesday 4th of June, we had an education trip. Ms. Briggs' Year 11 ESOL class went to Willowbank Wildlife Reserve.

At 10:50 am, the class walked together from class to the front of the school and got on the bus.

After half an hour, we arrived at Willowbank and got off the bus. Ms. Briggs assigned us to three groups

of eight with another teacher with us. Then, we entered the place. First, our group went to the area of

different kinds of birds. At 11 am, the three groups met in the Kea enclosure to learn about the Kea bird.

When the keeper, Rachel, gave us information about the Kea, we took notes and watched the Keas fly.

I shivered while were inside the Kea enclosure. Next, we had a thirty-minute break. After that break, we

again took a walk and looked at different animals inside the place. We went to the farm area and answered

the booklet that Ms. Briggs had given us. Next, we spent our one-hour spare time around the place.

We communicated with different animals and patted them. We then went home after we took some photos

in front of Willowbank.

The experience I had on this day was amazing. I learned new information and facts about the animals that I

have seen. I am glad that I got to experience this with my friends and the class.
