Cardinal goes home with Adam

In the weekend I went to Adam's house. It didn't take long to get home because he lives quite close to school. We went to the park to play lots and lots. Adam to me to McDonalds for a burger and fries. It was really tasty. McDonalds was in a mall in Richmond.
We went to Adam's Dad's work. He works at Tallys on computers. Tallys catches and sorts fish.
I went to Dovedale, about 30 minutes drive to watch Adam's brother play cricket. He lost but did great.

It was great meeting Adam's family.

Good bye

Adventures with Alyssa

"I'm sorry this bus ride is so long," said Alyssa. "It's almost an hour, so it's going to be a long wait. Just sit back and relax." Alyssa and her family live at the Bonneville Fish Hatchery. Her father is the foreman there. They live very near the dam.

"Kiwi, we're almost home. I'm so excited to tell Mommy. Oh, be careful around my little sister Myah. She can be very annoying! If she grabs you, I will be sure you don't get hurt." I was happy to hear Alyssa's kind words and lightened up. Just a little.

When we got home, Alyssa walked up a driveway to a small white house with green around it. Alyssa opened the door and shouted, "Look, Mom! I got to take home Kiwi. "

"Oh, how cute! said a little girl much smaller than Alyssa.

"Myah! Give Kiwi back!" The little girl quickly gave me back. I noticed the name of the girl and recognized it to be the Myah that Alyssa told me about. I shuddered. Alyssa unpacked her backpack and did her homework. Then she ate dinner and did some more homework.

It turned out to be a wonderful day at Alyssa's house.

Kiwi Arrives in Corbett!

The kiwi arrived in Corbett, Oregon, USA, today. After much anticipation, we opened the envelope to greet him. Lots of oohs and aahs from the crowd. He is adorable! He has gone home with a student on his first visit. We hope to post another entry on Monday, detailing his adventures.

A visit to Brandon's

Yesterday after Brandon's Mum picked me up from school we went to see Brandon's Doctor, Doctor Osbourn. I watched Brandon get his ears checked with an ear torch. Then Brandon's doctor talked to him about not getting his ears wet for two or three weeks.
In the morning Brandon and I walked to school together. We had fun walking together. So we got to school and did the same old thing.

After Brandon and I got picked up we went to his Poppa's friends, Herb. I saw Brandon's 3 cows and watched Herb bale Hay with a hay baler. There was also a dog there too.


Well that is just about it for my adventures with Brandon.

Good Bye

Cardinal

What do Cardinals eat ? Do they eat seed or friut or some sort of other food?Where are most Cardinal s found? Why don't Cardinals live in NZ?

My first day at shcool !

Hi room 8, I have had 1 full day in room 9 . I have been around the school today.
Lydia, Caitlin and Jacob took photos of me on the awesome back playground.
They took another one on the bars, and one in the little tree out back.

There are 10 classrooms at Brightwater School and the teachers seem to be nice.
The children are really lucky because they have lots of space to play and a pool to swim in.

The children have been really nice and friendly and are happy to play with me.
I am going to stay at Brandon's house tonight.

I think I will like it in New Zealand
