Some of the competitors at Hillview School

Jeanette and I accompanied 24 children to the Junior Cross Country at Hillview School on Tuesday.

The Opawa children represented us well.

It was great to see  families during learning conferences!
Thank you for taking the time to come - every family came. Ka pai!

Today we had a very small and special feathered friend  to visit us.
Beau brought his canary, Chirpy, to visit. Chirpy was well behaved and showed off a little - climbing the cage, sharpening her beak, nibbling on her apple, sipping water and crunching her seeds. She even managed to have a swing and rattle her toy. Beau was very proud to tell us about Chirpy. She was a present for his 6th birthday.

Beau and Chirpy.
