It was a very excited group of children (along with our wonderful parents and helpers) who boarded the bus and headed for Butterfly Creek near the Auckland Airport. We had been learning about the life cycles of butterflies and frogs and we agreed that this trip would allow the children to see many different species of butterflies up close. There were several animal enclosures to visit and we saw 'Scar' the alligator being fed - he was huge! Some children were lucky enough to touch the baby alligator. "He feels all hard and bumpy" Torrin said.
Over at the animal farm there were baby rabbits, goats, mice and a kune kune pig. It was so good to see the children using gentle hands as they patted the animals. Karin didn't like seeing the cockroaches in the 'bug house' very much but everyone had fun on the train ride. It was a great day out and we received a lot of good feedback from the children and the parents/helpers who went on the trip. Thanks so much for your support.
