We saw bear, tigers, monkeys, giraffes, kangaroos, baboons, mere cat and a lot of other animals. We had a great day at the zoo.

Athletics

Today we had our Junior athletics. We had 5 different activities to do. We started with the vortex throw, then we did long jump and mini hurdles. We then went to the sack race and then off to the sprints. Unfortunately it started to rain so we didn't get to do the egg and spoon race. We had a lot of fun doing each of the activities.
