Whetū Ako Reporters

This week we listened to Suzy Cato read Jin's Great Escape, a true story about an otter which escaped from the Auckland Zoo. 

Then we put our News Reporter hats on to discover and report what really happened.

Jin the otter has been found alive. Last Monday, three otter’s from the Auckland Zoo made a daring escape. They found a hole and dug and dug and finally they got out of the zoo. Java and Jet went back but Jin stayed out and had an adventure. Jin went from the Auckland Zoo to Rangitoto Island!

Jin has been found! He went to so many places like Rangitoto Island! Jin, Java and Jeta escaped from the zoo. Someone found Java and Jeta, but they didn’t find Jin. He wasn’t found for a long time. Some people saw Jin but they thought he was a seal. They caught Jin and took him back to the zoo.
