Lauren and Sam in 5th Class were inspired to write some poetry after their 'visit' to Dublin Zoo.

Dublin Zoo Poem 
by Lauren


I went to the zoo on a cold day
But it didn’t take the fun away
I felt a breeze on my knees
I went to see the chimpanzee
I saw a girl with some bows
She was looking at the hippos
I met some red pandas in a tree
I also met some funny monkeys
I saw some cute owls get fed
They had only just gotten out of bed
I went to the turtle enclosure 
They were very cute for sure
The baby birds were singing loud
The parents seemed very proud
And as my day came to an end
I went to see my giraffe friend

Poem - Dublin Zoo
by Sam


Today is the day we go on our tour
At the Zoo there is so much to do
Green trees, animals flying around
What glorious sites can we see and be found

I see gorillas their black and their hairy
They make noise that can seem quiet scary
But they’re just having fun,playing in the sun
They are funny and all love to run

Elephants we see are in herds 
They eat grass and leaves not birds!!
They shower with their trunks 
After some muddy fun
They are all together as one 

Now my time is up we have to go home
It’s been a fabulous day seeing animals all day
I’ll remember them all because I had a ball
My trip to the Zoo I’ll remember it all
