LAST BLOG WITH YOU ALL! 🙀 We hope you have all enjoyed our animal posts and learnt some things along the way! 😄 Our whole group has evenly contributed to writing the blog posts. Hanying, Qiannuo, Anton and Dianne all went to the zoo in order to grab some great animal footage video for our 'Animal' theme content. Hugo was unable to attend our zoo trip, however we had some moral support from him. We organised a meeting where we gathered to contribute our ideas, edit and sort the videos into the wanted order etc. We made a fun (and hilarious) video on Youtube for you to watch! Check it out here below before we part our ways :) FAREWELL FELLOW ANIMAL FRIENDS! 44622708 Dianne Vuong 45381399 Anton Kwong 44872364 Hanying Zhang 44186819 Qiannuo Zhang 44915853 Li Cheng Chuang
