A Visit to the Zoo
Last year the whole grade 6,7 and 8 went to the Prague Zoo by
public transport for art and science (we went on the ferry boat and a
bus).
For art we drew animal pictures and for science we looked at the
animals bodies and learned how the animals adapt in their environment.
We learned a lot. It was really fun. There were many animals in the
zoo. The pictures were drawn by our class. |

A Call to Action
When a zoo is good to the animals and visitors, it is a very nice place
to go and the animals are happy. It’s fun to learn and see animals that
we wouldn’t see without the zoo. Zoos should always make a good habitat
for the animals so that the animals would be happy. If an animal has a
bad habitat, you can donate money/ “adopt” the animal to help get a
better habitat. |
Its great that zoos are taking action to save animals - but they
shouldn’t keep animals that they don’t need. I think that zoos should
only have animals that are endangered, that need their breeding
programs
