Perth Zoo? Let me start at the beginning….
Well, this caravan park that we are staying at offers books to borrow. You find them in a little room with lots of free leaflets about things around Perth. Mum found me a copy of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe but there was more leaflets than books, so I had a poke around. Then I found one leaflet about Perth Zoo. It looked almost identical to the Melbourne Zoo which I had already seen, but I wanted to go. I showed Mum the leaflet.
The next day, I woke up. Nobody was awake yet but they would be soon. I went on program for designing. The name? Adobe InDesign. Mum is a graphic designer so she knows how to use it. I know how it works too, now. Mum also knows Adobe Photoshop, a program for editing photos, but not I.
So anyway, when I got bored, I went to the playground at the caravan park. It’s not really the greatest, but in my opinion, the swings are pretty good. Also, it’s right next to an amazing pond, with a lot of little birds with multicolour beaks. Additionally there are big black swans, and some colourful ducks with their tiny striped ducklings.
After my play Dad started telling me “it is time to go to the planetarium, come on, get in the car, get a move on, chop chop”, so I walked off and slumped into my booster seat. I hate having a booster seat. It practically squashes me to death. I stared out the window. There’s nothing else you can do when you’re trapped in a car. Gus was already in, but not my parents. When they got in, we started moving. I kept staring out the window. Then we stopped. But this wasn’t the planetarium. I was pretty sure this was the zoo.
When I asked Mum, she said something about the planetarium being too crowded. So then we got in, and Mum asked about where I got the map. The leaflet had a map of the zoo on it. It had been left in the car when I first saw it, and I had brought it out with me. When this was explained, Mum told me that the zoo people were selling maps for $1. Seems that I saved us $1.
The Perth Zoo was a lot like the Melbourne one, if not smaller. Halfway through looking at the animals, Mum announced that we were to do a project on an animal. Gus did his on the Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur. I did mine on the Sunbear. This is the finished project. I did it with InDesign.
