Funny Birds

Well I managed to go for a few car rides with Mrs Honeywill.  One time we went to Cardrona and another time we went to Otematata.  We had fun in Otematata.  There were lots of funny looking birds around the house.  They were blue ones with big red beaks.  They were on the walls inside and in the garden outside.  I am not sure what they were but I bet the children in Room 3 will know.  They did a lot of learning about birds last term!!

Oh well back to school now and I am really looking forward to visiting the children at home again.

School Holidays

Hmmmm now I heard all of my buddies in Room 3 saying how they were looking forward to the school holidays.  I heard them say that they were going to be doing exciting things like ice skating and visiting old friends.  I wondered who I would be lucky enough to go home with.  I got to go home with Mrs Honeywill.  So I was a wee bit excited about what we might get up to.  But I have to say it has all been very BORING.  Did you get that - BORING.  Mrs Honeywill has spent a lot of time so far reading books!  Now I know that it is important for your learning to read everyday - but for hours at a time.  So I have a picture of myself on the couch - which is where Mrs Honeywill seems to do most of her reading.  I think I look a bit bored in the picture to be honest.  Oh well fingers crossed that we doing something exciting soon!

PS - I would like to send out a special hug to my wee buddy Lawrie.  I hear that his shop and house burnt down and I feel very sad for him.  I had a great time in that shop with Lawrie - especially in the lollipop jar!

Summer's House

We watch the Ernie and Bert channel.  I played on the trampoline with Summer.  I was hot jumping, Summer was throwing me into the sky and then she caught me.  Summer let me listen to the singing music on the piano.

Ella's House for the Weekend

On Friday when we got home from school, I helped Ella make a milo.  We had scones with jam and cream on them.  They were yummy.  On Saturday we went to town to Taylor's rugby game.  We saw Shelby, Lani and Zara there.  After that me and Ella went with her Grandma and Aunty Katie to watch her cousin play netball at the Edgar Sport Centre.  Then we went shopping in town and Ella got some new shoes.  They are cool. 

Keira's House for the Weekend

On Friday I went home with Keira.  I got to see Keira's room, it's pretty cool.  Keira's friends came over and they had tea with us.  The next day Keira played rugby.  After that Keira took me to Lani's party.  We watched the All Blacks play rugby, then we had some savs!  After that we went to bed.  I slept at the end of Shelby's bed with Keira.  On Sunday I went back to Keira's house and played with her.  So I had a busy weekend with Keira and met lots of cool friends.

Finn's House for the Weekend

After school I went to Finn's house.  He has a fantastic room!  I got to ride on Mrs Honeywill's pencil case.  In the morning Finn told me about Florence Nightingale, the nurse.  There was a boy in the war and his leg got shot off by a cannon!  Florence saved him.  Finn's friends Darren and Hiromi came over.  I was scared of Finn's bear.  We did some painting of some animals.

Nicole's House

After school I watched hockey with Nicole.  We saw her friends there.  I went to the shop and I got a piece of chocolate off Nicole.  Then I went home with her and she showed me her room and her new PJ's.  I made new friends and one was called Lucky and the other one was Tessa's cat called Fluffy Face.  We listened to music and sang.  I had a voice!  We brushed our teeth then we hopped into bed.  Nicole's mum gave me a kiss on the cheek.  I slept upside down.  Nicole put pink on me for pink day.

Shelby's House for the Weekend

On Friday I went home with Shelby.  Shelby's mum was looking after Jenna, Mason and Harvey.  There were kids everywhere!  I ate crackers, chips and apples after school.  On Saturday we went to Max's rugby at Waikouaiti.  There were heaps of kids from school there.  We got hot chips, fizz and lollies.  On Saturday afternoon we went to Denvir, Jenn, Josh and Oscar's house to stay.  Charlie, Andrea, Sam and Zara came too.  We had tea and played while the adults had a few beers.  Shelby's dad put me on the ceiling fan so I could have a helicopter ride.  It was awesome!!  I've had fun at Shelby's.  I met some new friends and caught up with Grover.

Room 3

Hi Room 3.  My name is Ernie.  Something interesting happened to me in the school holidays.  I was sitting on my normal shelf in The Warehouse, feeling very sad and upset.  In fact, I was actually crying!  You see, my best buddy Bert had been bought by a wee girl and I was feeling very alone on the shelf.  Then something fantastic happened!  Mrs Honeywill walked past the shelf and she heard me crying........she picked me up, gave me a cuddle and said "you are coming home with me!"

I was very excited and so glad to have someone being kind to me.  I sure did miss my buddy Bert!  Then the adventure got even more exciting!  Mrs Honeywill took me to Room 3.  What a fabulous classroom it is.  I can tell that there are lots of very clever children in this room.  I have read some great writing and I love all of the artwork on the walls.  I can't wait to learn to do the cool things that you all do!

Mrs Honeywill told me that I am going to be going on adventures with children from Room 3.  I will get to go to your homes and do the things that you do after school.

I can't wait!
