On February 10, a mobile zoo visited New International School. The children were enthralled by the 52 visiting animals, which included ducks, guinea pigs, chickens, mice, and, of course, rabbits, being that it is the year of the rabbit (the preschool teachers had discovered that none of the children had ever touched a rabbit, which inspired the event).
The most popular animal across the whole age range was probably the mouse, as it could be held in one’s hand and could crawl up one’s sleeve. A few of the older children were squeamish, but not the younger ones!
