The Zanzibar Zoo

Apart of my teaching internship at the International Muslim English Speaking School is getting to go on field trips. I love the field trips because I not only get to see more of Zanzibar, but I also get to spend more quality time outside the classroom with the students. This week, we took a day trip to the zoo. Now, I've been to the zoo before, but this was definitely a different experience. I got to see animals that I have only seen in movies! I saw hyenas and vultures. 

The kids really enjoyed the field trip because they got to take a day off from learning in the classroom. Even though they had to take notes and write a report in English, they were still really excited about the opportunity to go to the zoo. Most of these kids, although they live near fun attractions, never get a chance to actually go. Even the teacher who accompanied me told me that she lived 5 minutes away from the zoo but has never been to a zoo before. I'm glad I get to share this experience with the kids and the teachers. I'm showing them that learning English can be fun, inside and outside the classroom!
