Class A Outing to Zoological Park
The third outing for Class A took place on the 29th of October, marking one of the most memorable days of the academic year. The destination was the Zoological Park, where 121 enthusiastic students, accompanied by 12 teachers and 4 helpers, set out for a day filled with learning, laughter, and exploration.
The morning began with a short prayer, dedicating the day to God’s guidance and protection. Soon after, the cheerful group boarded the buses, their voices filling the air with their all-time favorite song, “The Wheels on the Bus.” The excitement was evident as the little ones pointed out familiar landmarks, some shouting gleefully, “This is my way to my home!”
Upon reaching the Zoological Park, the young explorers could hardly contain their excitement. One of the students, Kupu, declared that he wanted to walk around and see every animal, while Liza shared that she hadn’t been able to sleep the night before because of how excited she was for the trip.
As the children moved in pairs, holding hands with their partners and taking charge of their own belongings, they joyfully sang “Walking in the Jungle.” Every new animal encounter was met with cheers and claps of wonder. A particularly amusing moment came when Sammy, upon hearing the monkeys chattering loudly, called out, “Can you all behave well for some time?”—a moment that made everyone burst into laughter.
Throughout the day, the students displayed remarkable curiosity and energy. Even after hours of exploring, they could be heard saying, “We are not tired! Please let us walk for some more time!” Though their enthusiasm was boundless, the time came to head back, and the little ones reluctantly began their return journey.
The visit to the zoo was not just recreational—it was deeply educational. The children learned that every creature has its own way of communicating, even if they cannot speak like humans. They observed the diversity of the animal kingdom and reflected on the beauty of God’s creation, developing a sense of care and respect for living beings.
As the buses rolled back toward school, some children sang softly while others rested peacefully after an eventful day. It was indeed a wholesome and heartwarming outing, one that strengthened bonds, filled hearts with joy, and reminded everyone that this would be the last class outing of the academic year—a memory to cherish for years to come.
