Mr. Isaac's Safari Adventure!

 

This summer I went to a safari park. A safari park is like a zoo, but you drive around in your car. It was great fun. I sat in my car with my friend Anna. We listened to music as we visited the animals in the safari park.

 

It was amazing to see the animals close to the car. Here you can see a wild dog which is next to my car. I wanted to open the car door and stroke it but I could not because it was too dangerous.

 

 

We also saw some buffalo really close to the cars. I was scared that they might try to turn over the cars.

 

 

 

 

In the safari I saw many animals. My favourite animals to see were the lions. They were really beautiful.

 

At times my trip was a bit scary though. When we were driving in our car a camel came and stood in front of us. I thought it might try to sit on the car a swash us! I’m glad it didn’t!

 

 

 

We also got to feed the animals. We had to put food on our hands and then open the window. We held out our hands with our fingers bent backwards so the animals would not bite them. Then the animals came over to the car window and ate the food from our hands. It felt very warm and slimy. It did not feel very nice at all but it was good to try a new experience. 

 

 

After the visit to the safari park we went for lunch. Seeing all those animals eating from my hand made me feel very hungry.

Have you been a safari park?

 

If you have not, would you like to go?

 

Would you feed an animal like I did at the safari park?

 

Write back to me on my blog and let me know what you think!

 

Discover Nature in Hong Kong

 

Hello everybody, I hope you all had a good summer. I am very excited to be back to teach you all this year. We already have some fun English activities planned for you all.

This month our theme is “Discover Nature” so my blog is about how you can discover nature in Hong Kong.

 

One of my favourite things about Hong Kong is how you can get close to nature even in the big city. You can go to the beach or hike up a mountain.

There are also lots of parks and nature reservations such as the Hong Kong Wetland Park in Tin Shui Wai and Kadoorie Farm near Tai Po.

Here are some unusual animals you can see in Hong Kong:

 

Pink dolphin

 

Porcupine

Leopard cat

 

Chinese Pangolin

 

Otter

Fruit bat

Romer’s tree frog

 

Bamboo snake

Spoonbill

 

Butterfly

Here is a British site with some ideas of ways children can discover nature. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/17693814

 

Please post your own ideas about how to discover nature in Hong Kong!

Hi ! My name is Mr Chapman!

Hi everyone! My name is “Mr. Chapman”. I come from Essex in England. I was born in England and I only know English! So if you see me in school, remember that I do not know any Chinese.

I have a mum, a dad, an older brother and a younger brother. My mum and my older brother live in England. My brother works in a bank. My dad and my younger brother live in Hong Kong. My dad is a mechanic and fixes cars.

 

 

 

 

I have a very big family in Hong Kong and in England. I have 6 uncles, and aunties.  Here is a picture of me and my family. We are eating cake because it was my birthday. My mum cooks a lot of tasty food. I enjoy eating cake and desserts. What do you like to eat? Do you have a favorite food?

 I enjoy travelling, and this year I have been to Taiwan and to Holland. They were both beautiful places and I think everyone should go there to take a look. In this picture I am standing next to big letters in the city called Amsterdam. It is a lovely city and the people there are very kind!

I enjoy living in Hong Kong and there are many interesting places I can visit. I love eating, and I can find a lot of different food in Hong Kong.

Is there anywhere in Hong Kong you think I should visit?

 

 One of my hobbies is to draw cars. I was always drawing cars when I was a small child, and I still do it today! I can draw many different cars like sports cars and race cars. If you are interested in drawing cars you can come and find me, and I can teach you! What is your hobby?

 

 

  Here is a picture from when I was in Primary school. Can you see where I am in the picture? I look forward to getting to know everyone. Remember to say “Hi!” if you see me in recess and visit us in the English Fun Planet!
