Gardening Club Friday 4th April

On Friday I went to gardening club with Sussane and Rata, Finn and George. I was doing weeding for about five minutes. It was fun. Then I went to the shed to sort out seeds to sell them. I even got to sort out pumpkin seeds. It was lots of fun. I got to go out and get radishes by pulling them out of the ground. I got some feijoas as well. Next I got to plant some baby plants. All you had to do was put soil in a container and then put the seeds in. You need to put some water in and then you put the stuff that helps it grow in as well. It was so so so much fun! Finally I had to go back to school. I had so much fun  that I hope I'm in the gardening club next year  too, and the next year. I hope I keep going there over and over until I go to high school. It was the best trip ever. I also hope Rata loved it too!

The Forest Opening

On Friday it was the forest opening and we sang quite a lot of songs then some people did some speeches. After the forest opening some people went in to the forest and some kids were dressed
up as birds. Siena was a tui and Jaime was a fantail. Some special people came to our school. 
Some people went to have a look at the forest and the fantastic birds. After that it was time for everyone to go home. The end.

My New Mouse By Siena

On the weekend me and my mum went to the grey Lynn pet shop to get an amazing cage then we went to Animates to get my mouse. Her name is Snowy. When we got home we made up the cage and put her in it. We gave her some food and water.  I feed her seeds. She is white and  has a little brown mark on her left leg. She is only three months old. She is is very, very, very soft.

The Naughty Dog

Last weekend we took our dog Doogle for a walk in Grey Lynn Park. While we were there we saw another dog. He was big and white and very friendly. I ran over to play with him. He was called Percy. He was an Australian bulldog. I was running with  Percy. Then I found a stick and I picked it up and I teased him with it and SUDDENLY  he jumped up at my jaw and knocked a front tooth out!!  Luckily it was a loose tooth. It bled  a lot! Then we went home. I put the tooth under my pillow so the tooth fairy can buy it off me for a million dollars!!!! Well I wish.......
