Dino's surgery

Matthew and Missy took Dino, our class pet home and grandma fix him up.

In the morning Mummy took Dino in the car and he slept in the car. After 3 o’clock we went swimming, after we had tea we went to Grandma’s and Dino had his surgery. Dino recovered well from surgery and his arm is now good as new. Thanks Grandma!

Now Dino is able to wave and play again!

The Cool Cheetah

The cheetah is the fastest animal in the world. He has sharp teeth. His eyes are amazing eyes and he has pointed ears. He has spots on his body and long black tear eye lines. He has a spotted slender body and has very sharp claws. My cheetah has babies. Babies are called cubs. They are very cute. I love them so much.

Elgregoe

Elgregoe

Award winning magician Elgregoe has become one of New Zealand's top school show

performers!

His show teaches key values that educate students about how to treat others and has a strong emphasis on anti bullying.

Using tricks, puppets, ventriloquism, music, song, stories and amazing props (including live

birds), the important messages are conveyed to the children in a fun, fast-paced show.

You’ve Got the Power is a great show which promotes great attitudes and helps achieve bully

free environments – and all this presented by an award winning magician and ventriloquist!
