Gary the Pigeon Update

          

We are happy to report that Gary the Pigeon is growing and doing well.

He came back to visit us in Room 9 on Friday 28 July. We no longer think he is a kereru, but he is still very special. He is learning to fly and loves to be handled by his human family.

Chocolate Cake Fun in R9

             

Thank you Mrs Bennett for having a great day 
with us on Friday 30 June. 

We loved the cake and all the fun learning we did with you.

Relaxing End to Term 2

It started as "Let's have a popcorn and movie day"..... then it became a "Let's have a popcorn, movie, PJs, blanket and pillow day"! What a great way to end a busy term. 

Happy holidays everyone.

Missing Minions!

A couple of shy mischievous minions have gone missing. They are looking for a new home, away from movie stardom. Rumour is, they are coming to Room 9 next Term, to get a taste of school and family life with some cool kids at Valley School.

Thanks Hell Pizza

Today Mrs Davis finally took the letters we wrote to Hell Pizza, Pukekohe! They seemed really pleased to get our thank you letters.

Meet Gary, the baby Kereru!

 

                                

Room 9 had a surprise visitor today, when Charley brought a rescued baby pigeon to school. The pigeon had been found by Dustin, after it had fallen out of its nest, high up in a tall tree. It had no feathers at all and couldn't feed itself. Over the week that Charley's family have been nursing the pigeon, it has grown some feathers and learnt how to eat dry food. They still give it water to ensure that it is hydrated. 
Dustin has named the bird Gary and although it is hard to tell for sure, we think that Gary is a native wood pigeon, a kereru. 

Wig Wednesday in Room 9

Thanks to everyone who had a wacky hairstyle or wore a wig to school today. 

What a wacky bunch!
