Dear Marguerite,
Thank you so much for bringing the animals in to show us. My favourite was Jazz because she looked so cute and she was as soft as a fluffy blanket. It was the best day of my life. I hope you can come again.

Dear Marguerite,
Thank you so much for bringing your animals in. It really was a special day. My favourite animal was the white dog because she was cute and she sat on my knee. I really liked walking Milo the goat. I also liked Jazz as well. I really appreciate you coming. Rosie was a cute pig. It was a really cool day!!!

A VISITOR TO ROOM 13

On Tuesday Matua Elmars brought in a Huntsman spider. It was cute and cuddly. I got to hold it. The builders found it by Room five then they gave it to Matua Elmars. They don’t make webs and they come from Australia. They have orange claws and they grow about the size of your fist. I love spiders!!!

Matua Elmars brought a Huntsman spider to our class. He told us some information. Frankie held the spider and she wasn’t scared. The builders found it by the new entrance. It was a funny spider. It had orange claws and it was cute. Thanks Elmars that was great.

On Tuesday Matua Elmars brought a Huntsman spider in. The builders found it by Room 5 and gave it to Matua Elmars. Elmars told us some information about it. The information he told us was that it doesn’t spin webs, it comes from Australia and it grows as big as our fist. It was furry and creepy but it was cute! Frankie held the spider! It was cool.

Matua Elmars brought a Huntsman spider to our class. Frankie held it. It chases its prey and it doesn’t spin webs. It doesn’t hurt people. The builders found it and gave it to Elmars. Elmars told us the Huntsman was found in Australia and came to New Zealand two years ago. There are not many left. The spider was hairy and creepy. It had orange claws and long legs. It was as long as a finger, it was brown and black.
