Trip to Zoo Negara

On 25th June 22 Trainees accompanied by 7 caregivers boarded the bus to Zoo Negara. The objective of this educational tour was to create awareness and appreciation of the animal kingdom.  To ensure that trainees have a pleasant and rewarding learning experience we opted to take the “Kingdom of Animals” a guided package especially tailored for Special Needs students.

We were greeted by 3 lively Education Officers who charmed us by their warm hospitality.  In a very relaxed and friendly environment our hosts treated the trainees with their creative, interactive, story-telling sessions and simple bio-facts presentations of familiar animals.  The package also included the impressive “Multi-animal show” at the amphitheatre and the tram ride to see the overview of the zoo.

 Among the memories brought home are the following expressions:


                                “Giraffe has a long neck.”  Edwin       
                                 “Giraffe eat leaves” Meghalah




 

“Elephant use trunk and eat food” – Chong
“Elephant yau sui (swimming)” – Keng Ming



                                  
                         “Bird sit on my shoulder – I like”  - Daniel



For several trainees this was their first trip to the Zoo. 




                      For Hafeedz this was his first outing to KL with friends



        "Mor mar (touch horse)  - photo – Wash hand – NICE"!! – Keng Ming






                 For Soo Hong its “monkey”  "giraffe" “elephant”



                                "Go train (tram) enjoy!!"  - Phoon



When asked what she liked most at the Zoo, Miow Yoon replied:
“Chicken Rice - Nice!”
Thank you Chicken Rice Shop for sponsoring our lunch and partnering with us.




Indeed it was a unique, fun-filled learning experience for all trainees.
