There was a real adventure in store
when the Happy House school went on an outing to Mombasa.
Haller Park, a nature park created from a former limestone quarry, was the
destination and there was so much there for them to see and do and learn.
But in a special blog we take you on the trip as seen
through the eyes of some of our kids.
Shakila begins: It was a very bright morning, our teachers told is that we go to assembly and that we have a trip. We were all happy and cheering. The teacher who was announcing she told us that ‘I know that you are very happy but listen to what I am saying’, so everybody was quiet and listening.
Jane writes: We went to Haller pack and we see the animals. And in Kenya we have three types of giraffe and we see antelope and monkey, fish, crocodile, snakes!

All Happy House kids, they was happy
We enjoy the trip and we had good time
We went on the bus from Malindi high
school
We started our journey
at half past seven o’clock, on the way we sang happily as we go .
Madam Rose told us when we see
policeman or woman we sing the National Anthem!
We arrived at the Haller Park at
quarter to Twelve o’clock .Many schools came and between all the schools Happy
House was the best school.
We behave well and all the teachers
from different schools were pleased with us. Before we left were divided into groups so, when we arrive there everybody
stood according to their groups waiting
Our game ranger was called Rama. He
took us round the park and he explain
for us . We understood him also we asked so many
questions
And I’m going to describe one animal
which is the giraffe.
He said there are three types of giraffe
but in Haller Park we saw African wild giraffe. Also giraffe is the tallest
animal in the world. The giraffe reproduce while standing
After that we went to have our lunch
well and we enjoyed ourselves.We came back home singing happily.’’
Now from Jedida: We saw valleys and hills as we went in a bus… the bus was so good.
At Haller Park we saw a cobra snake and
fish, green mamba.
Mercy completes the picture: Our teachers they organize for ruse to go for a
small trip to Mombssa Haller Park. We move here 7.30 with a big bus
from Malindi High School.We sang so many songs we soon reach Arabuko Sokoke forest went and pass the first bridge in Kilifi we went and pass another
bridge in Mombasa. When we rach Haller Park we move from the bus and we rest
a little but after resting were make two line for the primary kids and for the
nursery kids. A lady came and count us and she told us we can walk round the park
to see the animals.
The first animal lwe see was the tortoise there are 12 of them .
The teachers told us to
