11月 17 日，上海金山杭州湾双语学校小学部的同学们怀着满心期待，踏上了前往上海动物园的秋游研学之路。这场集趣味与知识于一体的实践活动，让同学们在与萌兽的亲密 “ 邂逅 ” 中，收获了欢笑与成长。

载满同学们欢声笑语的校车准时出发。一路上，大家忍不住兴奋地讨论着即将见到的动物朋友，像一群快乐的小鸟。经过一个多小时的车程，同学们顺利抵达上海动物园，在老师的带领下有序入园，开启了奇妙的探索之旅。

同学们走进两栖爬行鱼类区和鸟区。刚一踏入展区，大家就被玻璃展柜里的 “ 原住民 ” 们吸引住了目光 —— 浑身覆盖着彩色花纹的玉米蛇缠绕在树枝上，身体灵活地轻轻摆动，引得同学们屏住呼吸，小声惊叹 “ 它好像彩虹呀 ” ；圆滚滚的巴西龟缩在浅水池的石头上，有的伸着脑袋四处张望，有的则把头脚全缩进壳里，像一个个移动的 “ 小盾牌 ” ；而身披翠绿 “ 外衣 ” 的鬃狮蜥最是有趣，感受到同学们的目光，它微微扬起脖子，鳞片随着呼吸轻轻开合，仿佛在向大家 “ 打招呼 ” 。走到鱼类展区里，五彩斑斓的热带鱼在水中自在穿梭，与两栖爬行动物们形成了奇妙的对比。同学们一边凑在展柜前认真观察，一边围着老师追问： “ 老师，蟒蛇会冬眠吗？ ”“ 蜥蜴的鳞片有什么用呀？ ” 在老师和导游的耐心讲解中，大家不仅认识了不同动物的外形特点，还了解到它们独特的生存习性。离开两栖爬行鱼类区，同学们来到鸟类科普广场和鸟区。素有 “ 鸟中仙子 ” 之称的丹顶鹤，正迈着细长的双腿在湿地展区踱步，红白相间的羽毛随风轻扬，偶尔仰头发出清亮的鸣叫，引得同学们纷纷模仿；而 “ 表情包担当 ” 金刚鹦鹉则更显活泼，绿宝石般的羽毛搭配鲜红的尾羽，让同学们忍不住惊叹。大家认真聆听老师讲解鸟类的生活习性，一双双求知的小眼睛里闪烁着好奇的光芒。

狼雕塑广场变成了热闹的 “ 野餐乐园 ” 。同学们分组铺开野餐垫，分享带来的美食，你一块小面包，我一口水果，欢声笑语在广场上空回荡。大家一边享受午餐，一边交流着上午的所见所闻，还不忘将垃圾随手收好，用实际行动践行文明出游的理念。

同学们最期待的熊猫馆终于登场！小熊猫穿梭在树干间，拖着毛茸茸的大尾巴在树枝间跳跃，像一个个小精灵，让大家忍不住拿出电话手表记录下这萌趣瞬间。圆滚滚的大熊猫正慵懒地趴在草地上睡大觉，时不时翻个身、打个滚，引得同学们阵阵欢呼。

随后，同学们又陆续参观了食肉动物区和食草动物区。矫健的老虎、憨态可掬的熊，高挑的长颈鹿、温顺的袋鼠 …… 每一种动物都让同学们充满好奇。大家一边认真观看动物分类标识，一边积极提问，在观察与互动中，悄悄积累着动物知识。有的同学还拿出研学单，认真记录下自己感兴趣的知识点，真正做到了 “ 玩中学、学中乐 ” 。

整个参观过程中，同学们牢记老师的叮嘱，不投喂、不挑衅动物，用温柔的方式表达对小动物的喜爱。

同学们依依不舍地整队返程。此次上海动物园秋游活动，不仅让同学们近距离接触了来自世界各地的珍稀动物，开阔了眼界，更在轻松愉快的氛围中普及了动物保护知识，培养了爱护自然、关爱生命的意识。

这场奇妙的动物园之旅，是课堂知识的延伸，更是一次生动的实践教育。相信同学们在此次活动中收获的快乐与知识，将成为成长路上一段珍贵的回忆，激励他们在未来继续探索自然、热爱生活。

On November 17th, filled with anticipation, the primary school students of Shanghai Jinshan Hangzhou Bay Bilingual School embarked on an autumn research trip to Shanghai Zoo. This practical activity, blending fun and knowledge, allowed students to have close "encounters" with adorable creatures, gaining both joy and growth.

At 8:30 AM, the school buses, filled with the students' cheerful chatter and laughter, departed on time. During the journey, everyone eagerly discussed the animal friends they were about to see, like a flock of happy little birds. After a ride of over an hour, the students arrived smoothly at Shanghai Zoo. Led by their teachers, they entered the zoo in an orderly manner and began their wonderful exploration.

The first stop was the Amphibian, Reptile & Fish Area and the Bird Area. Upon entering, the students were immediately drawn to the "local residents" in the glass enclosures. A corn snake, covered in colorful patterns, coiled around a branch, swaying its body flexibly, making the students hold their breath and whisper in awe, "It looks like a rainbow!" Plump red-eared slider turtles sat on rocks in shallow water—some stretched their necks looking around, while others retracted their heads and limbs completely into their shells, like little moving "shields." The bearded dragon, clad in an emerald "coat," was the most amusing; sensing the students' gaze, it slightly raised its neck, its scales gently expanding and contracting with its breath, as if "greeting" everyone. In the fish section, brightly colored tropical fish swam freely, creating a fascinating contrast with the amphibians and reptiles. The students crowded around the enclosures, observing intently and firing questions at their teachers: "Teacher, do pythons hibernate?" "What are the lizard's scales for?" Through the patient explanations from teachers and guides, they not only learned about the physical characteristics of different animals but also gained insight into their unique survival habits.

Leaving the Amphibian, Reptile & Fish Area, the students proceeded to the Bird Science Plaza and Bird Area. The red-crowned crane, often called the "fairy among birds," paced gracefully in the wetland exhibit on its slender legs, its red-and-white feathers gently ruffling in the wind. Occasionally, it raised its head to let out a clear call, prompting the students to try and imitate it. The more lively "meme star," the scarlet macaw, with its emerald-green feathers and bright red tail, drew exclamations of wonder from the children. Everyone listened attentively as the teacher explained the living habits of birds, their curious eyes sparkling with a thirst for knowledge.

By noon, the Wolf Sculpture Plaza had transformed into a bustling "picnic paradise." Students spread out their picnic mats in groups, sharing the delicious food they had brought—a piece of bread from one, a bite of fruit from another. Laughter and cheerful conversation echoed across the plaza. While enjoying their lunch, they exchanged stories about what they had seen in the morning, remembering to clean up their trash promptly, putting the concept of civilized tourism into practice.

After lunch, the journey continued, leading to the highly anticipated Panda House! Red pandas weaved through tree trunks, their fluffy tails trailing behind as they leaped between branches like little elves, making everyone pull out their smartwatches to capture these adorable moments. The roly-poly giant pandas lounged lazily on the grass, sleeping soundly, occasionally rolling over or shifting, eliciting cheers from the students.

Later, the students visited the Carnivore Area and the Herbivore Area. Agile tigers, endearingly clumsy bears, tall giraffes, gentle kangaroos... each animal filled the students with curiosity. They carefully read the animal identification signs, actively asked questions, and quietly accumulated knowledge about animals through observation and interaction. Some students even took out their research worksheets, diligently noting down interesting facts, truly embodying "learning through play and enjoying learning."

Throughout the visit, the students remembered their teachers' instructions: no feeding, no provoking the animals, showing their affection for the creatures in gentle ways.

At 2:00 PM, the students reluctantly gathered to return. This autumn trip to Shanghai Zoo not only allowed the students to get up close with rare animals from around the world, broadening their horizons, but also popularized knowledge about animal protection in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, fostering a sense of care for nature and all living beings.

"Learning through laughter, integrating knowledge and action." This wonderful zoo trip was an extension of classroom learning and a vivid practical education. We believe the joy and knowledge gained from this activity will become a precious memory in the students' growth, inspiring them to continue exploring nature and loving life in the future.
