Week 6, Term 1

This week we had a visit from Wiremu's mum Paula. She brought in some very special little friends with her. Their dog has had puppies and Paula brought in two to show us. We got to hold the puppies, stroke their soft fur and listen to their little squeaky sounds as they talked to each other. We talked about how Paula and the mummy are looking after them. The mother fed them milk at first but now Paula feeds them special healthy dog food mixed with warm water to make it soft and easy for them to eat. They need to be kept warm and dry and need plenty of sleep so we only held them for a little while then she took them back home for a rest. We all agreed little puppies need very similar things to little humans!

After the puppies had gone home, SiuMelie had a good idea. She thought we could write some stories about the puppies and make a book with them. We all thought about what we could write and put the stories in with some photos. Come in and read our book sometime. We are really proud of it. Paula is going to bring the puppies back when they are a little older so we can see how much they have grown. We will add more to our stories then. Thank you, Paula. We are so happy to have met your puppies.

We had the Tryathlon on Friday. The weather was great and we got to give everything a 'try'! Thank you for all the parents who came to support their tamariki and who had a go at the activities. Thank you also to Nicky, Klara's mum, who took photographs of us trying our best. Well done to everyone in Room 5 who were super strong athletes and really tried hard.

Congratulations to Ryan this week for receiving Pupil of the Week. Ryan has a fantastic attitude towards learning always does the right thing in class. He is an excellent example for the rest of the class and we are all proud of him. Well done, Ryan.

Next week we have a Duffy Book Assembly on Wednesday morning. These are interesting and fun and we are looking forward to seeing what it will be like. We will also receive our Duffy Books. Yay!
Have a happy and safe week everyone.
