Hi Room 22 Kids

Hello everyone

How are you all doing? I hope you are getting some good sleeps and feeling a bit happier. I have been thinking of you heaps and can't wait to get back to some form of 'normality' We enjoyed being away from the aftershocks in Nelson. We saw several other families from school there too. Here is Kayla feeding the goats at Natureland in Nelson. Soon after this photo this cheeky goat stole the paper bag from her hand and ate that too!

Today the girls and I went to Willowbank with Miss Begg. It is free to all Christchurch families this week so maybe Mum or Dad could take you out there. We had fun feeding the eels.

The eels felt so slimy. They have amazing eyes and seemed very friendly to us......

Except when this one came right out of the water trying to get the meat from us and we all got a bit of a fright!

This ENORMOUS rabbit looked like a soft toy pillow. We thought he would make a great pet.

Check out this very UGLY kunikuni pig we met at Willowbank!

Yesterday Miss Archbold came to see us and the girls had fun with her on the tramp. It is nice to see my girls smiling again and I hope you are finding things to do that make you smile too.

Did you see Mrs Simmons and Isabel and Maddy on TV3 news last night? They are going to school in Arrowtown for awhile. I wonder if any of you have moved away and are spending time at other schools?

You can email me if you would like to and let me know how you are and what you and your families are up to emma.lythgoe@stalbans.school.nz

Maybe you could do some research for our NZ topic. Try to find out some interesting things about our native birds or research a city or town that you don't know much about. You could keep a diary or 'journal' entries and include some pictures to go with these. Keep on learning those times tables and check out our school website for some other learning activities.

Sparky had to go in the cattery while we were in Nelson - he sure is glad to be home and back on his favourite couch!

Bye for now kids, remember to email me if you want to chat - I will write back - promise :-)

Miss Lythgoe
