Product Description
Destination Zoo is an engaging and motivating reading project where students travel around a zoo learning about different animals. They get to utilise the many New Zealand School Journals that schools have access to.
18 activities, 23 animals and 62 Journal stories or articles. Weeks of fun!!
At each animal students visit, they will choose a reading task that will earn them ‘Likes’ on their Zoo App. The better they do the task the more likes the teacher can give them. At the end of the project students can be given the opportunity to use their Likes to pay for a special reward. E.g. Movie Day.
Destination Zoo is the third in the series that include Destination World and Destination New Zealand. There are all new activities for this project version.
