Walking through the zoo
Walking through the zoo
En un día casi primaveral los alumnos de 2º de Infantil, acompañados por sus profesoras encargadas de curso, fueron de excursión al zoológico de Madrid. Previamente, los pequeños ya habían estudiado esta unidad didáctica para ser capaces de reconocer los animales, sus hábitats y sus principales características.
Los alumnos visitaron los leones, los osos, las jirafas y cebras, a los orangutanes, a los tres elefantes de Asia y a los chimpancés, etc. Incluso tuvieron la oportunidad de ver un oso hormiguero con su cría paseando tranquilamente.
En el acuarium, la construcción mas grande y compleja construida en el zoo, observaron cómo nadaban todo tipo de peces, tiburones, tortugas, medusas, cangrejos, etc. Seguidamente, los niños comieron en el delfinario mientras los delfines demostraban sus habilidades en el agua con saltos, nadando muy rápido y bailando al ritmo de la música.
Despues de una agotadora caminata por el zoo, llegó el momento de volver al colegio. Todos aprendieron mucho sobre los animales y cómo deben cuidarlos para evitar que estén en peligro de extinción.

In this spring-like day, children in Kidergarten 2, accompained by their teachers went to the zoo on a school trip. Previoulsy at school, we worked on this Unit to be capable of recognizing the animals, their habitats and skills.
We visited the lions, bears, giraffes, zebras, orangutans, the three elephants from Asia, the chimpanzees, etc. We even have the chance to see an anteater with its baby walking around calmly. At the aquarium, the largest and most complex exhibit ever built at the zoo, we could see how all kind of fishes, sharks, turtles, jellyfishes and crabs were swimming on the salty water.
We had lunch at the dolphins area while the dolphins showed us their water skills with high jumps and fast swimming. It was great to see them dancing to the rythm of the music!
After a long walk around the zoo, it was about time to come back to school. A couple of school buses came to pick us up and meanwhile we had the chance to have a short nap in order to get our streght back. We have learnt a lot about animals also because most of the animals at the zoo belong to endangered species and we have to take care of them.
It has been a wonderful day at the zoo!
