New student!

We welcome Jayia to Room 12.  She had her first day at Wairakei School today and she was excited to be in the same class as Ava-Lea (her old kindy buddy!).  Yay!

Jayia and her buddy, Ava-Lea.

Last week we had Animal Control come and visit us with their lovely dog called Matt.  We are learning about how to interact and be safe with dogs.  Here are just some of the things we are learning:

If a dog is on its own - leave it alone!

To meet a pup - ask a grown-up!

Don't run and shout - it freaks us out!

To understand - they sniff your hand!

If a dog has a snack - keep well back!

Quiet and slow - is the way to go

Chin or chest - that's the best!

After the visit we all write a story about our new knowledge.  Here is Phoenix's story.

Matt (the dog) did a poo in the hall!  We learned that it is the owner's responsibility to pick it up.
Charlotte (from Cool Dots) showed us how to use a plastic bag to pick up doggy poo!
