Orana Park

The day was hot and the wind still as Richmond School headed out on a whole school trip to learn about the different jobs that people do at Orana Park.  We spent the whole day looking and learning about animals and the jobs the zoo keepers do to keep the Park running smoothly. We had free ice blocks and got to feed the giraffes. We held a rhinoceros horn and got to see a rhinoceros tooth. We were told how the gibbons escaped. We would like to thank our guides and the zookeepers who took time out of their day to share their jobs with us.
