Look who came to visit us at school today - Benjamin Bear did!  He was up bright and early and dressed himself!  We think he had a good day and we were impressed at how quietly he did all his work. 

Every afternoon four of the children in our class treat us to four surprises that they have popped into their paper bags.  They have some 'show and tell' goodies that tell us a little bit about them.  Here is the poem they have on their bags -

Today we heard all about Ana's kitten and she showed us how good she is at catching balls.  Edison also likes balls and he enjoys fishing too.  Herne is fascinated by Harry Potter and he showed us his Harry Potter wand as well as a photo that was taken of himself at Hogwarts Castle!  Hayden had lots of exciting photos taken of himself and some of the All Blacks during the Rugby World Cup.  He also had a special carved turtle necklace which came from Fiji.
