The Willowbank Trip

Willowbank trip

On June 4, my class in ESOL went to the Willowbank.

It was a raining day. After we finished period 1 at school, we started going to the place by bus. When we came there, we decided to divide into 3 groups to get easy to find information for our booklets. I remembered that my group was the last one to start visiting.

The main reason for this trip to Willowbank was preparing for practice assessment about the Kea bird but I thought it looked like that I enjoyed a lot of fun in there. My group walked past some places which are called animal's houses such as Llama, the horse, wallabies,..etc. There were many mammals which I hadn't known before and that visit was so amazing for me to reach something new even I had heard some people had been telling me about that.

Next, we came to the destination which the Kea lived. It made me feel like the jungle but exactly like the forest which is similar to the place Kea comes from. We met the woman guide, she gave us some information about the Kea bird.

I saw her feeding some birds with sweet food, especially honey. She said Kea birds would come with you if they felt hungry. Also, whether you didn't give them food, they would bite you anytime.

After that, we went to the nocturnal Kiwi house. It was dark inside and we had to be quiet when we were going there in order to not make Kiwi woke up. Then, at 12:45 we came to the coffee shop to have the seat to wait for the bus coming.

The trip was really nice for me in learning and having relaxation.
