Friday Funny Week 4

Here's some funny animals to make your Friday a funny one!


Beautiful Bindi

This morning we had another special furry visitor to Room D. Jamie and his mum bought their foster dog Bindi into school. Bindi is an 8 week old terrior cross puppy. She sleeps in a cage in Jamie's mums room at night and is very playful. Jamie and his mum foster puppies for an organisation called Haven Animal Shelter, they look after and give the puppies love until they can be given to their forever homes.
Bindi was tired after all her meeting and greeting so she curled up on our laps to sleep, super cute!!!
Sniffing Kotahi, he must smell good!

Bindi climbed up on Alex for a cuddle.

Sam and Devon share a snuggle!

Straight onto Sarah's lap.

Head down for a rest!

Beautiful Bindi!

Gentle rubs from Eden and Abbey.

Tired girl!

Bindi thought the gap between Kiara and Kyron looked comfy!

Shadows visit to Room D

Last Friday Room D had a very special visitor. It was Olivia's kitten Shadow. Shadow is 11 weeks old, she eats cat food and sleeps in a cat bed. Olivia told us that Shadow was abandoned outside her mums work so her family decided to adopt her.
We really enjoyed meeting Shadow and getting to pat her too. 


Room M/D Library Monitors

Meet our new class librarians. They will be in charge of issuing and returning our books when we go to the library on a Tuesday.
Well done you three!

Eden, Marcel & Isobel ready to take on the responsibility that being a librarian brings!
