Friday, 4th October, 2013 Cael " I was a good communicator because I asked a lot of questions and spoke to lots of new people... I will always remember it and feel proud of myself when I think about it." Jennifer " Zoos are important because they help the animals keep safe from their enemies. They take care of them so people can look at them. Khaow Kheow is helping endangered species by saving animals from poachers who want to take their body parts." Aslan " I wonder what animals at the zoo feel about being in the same place all the time and sometimes seeing annoying people?" …and…. "I am really proud of Kong because he learned how to show everybody he was important and that he communicated with everybody (he wasn't shy anymore)." Year 5 students had the following thoughts to share after their time at Khao Kheow: Megan "On our trip to Khao Kheow Zoo, I was a polite and enthusiastic learner. I was also a risk taker and an independent learner. I felt really proud on the 'flight of the gibbon' when near the end, there was a really long zip line and I was terrified- but when I did it, it was fun. I was also really proud of Arvind." Arvind " I was really proud of myself for doing the flight of the gibbon, even though I was scared and cried. This trip will make a difference to my life because I flew above the jungle for the first time in my life. " International Day International Day is fast approaching!
