Ark Avilon Zoo 2015

Our First-ever Field Trip! 

 Last August 14, 2015 we had our first-ever field trip.  It was a fun-filled and jammed-pack day.  Almost all the children arrived either earlier or on time.  I guess they are all excited to go and visit the ARK AVILON ZOO!

Once we arrived in Ark Avilon Zoo, of course, our Little Crimsons didn’t waste any time. We were greeted by the friendly staff headed by Miss Joyce and Miss Hazel as our official tour guide and the TOUR BEGINS!!!

Once you step inside, as if you were really inside Noah’s Ark.  We were introduced to some familiar animals and not so familiar animals.  Some animals were inside the glass cage like the white tiger, lions, monkeys, fox, meerkat, penguins and many more.  One of the interesting creatures that we encountered was the Double Wattled Cassowary.  It was one of the largest birds in the world but the most dangerous one. 

Another interesting feature of the zoo is that some animals were not in the cage.  You will see bearcat hanging on the tree.  We also have an up close and personal encounter with Tyson, the Burmese python.  Of course, the kids enjoyed touching the soft and feathery body of the cockatoo, parrots and toucans.  And the kids have a great time walking side by side with Mr. Tortoise.

But the highlight of the trip is the feeding of the farm animals.  The Little Crimsons were able to feed the rabbits, goats and guinea pigs. 

And how can we forget Busty the pony. Some of the kids were able to have a turn to ride on Busty.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our parent volunteers in assisting in the trip, making our trip fun and memorable!
