It was a  wonderful and hot day!

We left school in the morning and as soon as we arrived, we saw a    demonstration on
birds of prey. We learned about the differences    between birds who live at night and
the ones who live during the   day:  what they eat, where they live and how they hunt.
The children   where amazed with a falcon who flew over our heads. Later, we went  for a
walk to see wild animals from different continents. We saw  Spider Monkeys, Kangaroos,
Ostriches and some Portuguese Crows who  said: "Olá!".

It was hot and everyone was anxious for the picnic. Under some trees, in the picnic area, the children opened their bags and ate all the good treats from home. They were so tasty!

We still had more animals to see, as tigers and pigmea hippos, so after lunch we went for another walk. We passed by a beautiful lake with lots of ducks and swans, we visited the Insect House and the
Reptile House. From time to time we needed to rest in small shelters, where we could drink fresh water from a fountain and get away from the heat. At last we arrived at the farm where we saw animals the children knew very well: pigs, hens, a pony, etc. We rested for a while as we ate a snack.
Then it was time to leave,  so we came to  school in a big bus. It was a day filled of joy and  many learning experiences about  Animal Life.
