On Friday afternoon we took the grade 8 class from both schools to Haller Park - their zoo. Most of the students have never been to the park so it was quite a treat! The students and team members were set in groups to get to know each other a bit better and everyone greatly enjoyed the time. Here are some of the highlights.
We began with a guided tour. It was very educational.
Giant tortoise!
Feeding the giraffe was great fun!
Up close and personal when they fed the hippos. Take a look at that tusk!
Budding photographers getting some instruction.
Crocodiles vie for a spot to try to capture the meat.
Will this one be the victor?
At the end of grade 8, every student takes a national exam called the KCPE. So much of their future depends on how they do on that exam (if they can go to high school and what level of high school they can attend) that there is a lot of pressure. This day together at Haller Park is a great break for them as we pour into this generation of young people. What a joy!
