Highlight all the nouns in the story below.  The first noun has been highlighted for you.




Yesterday we went to visit the zoo in Wellington. My mum packed
me a great big lunch so I wouldn't get hungry. We had to meet at
the school at eight o'clock to catch the bus. I sat next to Jason
and Hemi. When we first arrived we watched the monkeys being
fed. Then we saw heaps of other animals. I liked the elephant
most of all. It kept on waving its trunk in the air.
    On the way back to Wanganui it started to rain and I fell
asleep. When we got back I found that I had left my jersey
behind. My teacher said not to worry because we could get it
posted back to us.
