Hi from Jodi

I went on a little trip to the Sahara Mountains. Honest…I did!!

It was really fun but I had an accident on the way to the top.

I had been there for many days and became dehydrated as I forgot to bring more than one drink bottle and lost my water purifier.

Also I got attacked by a mountain lion which is rather unusual these days!

The mountain lion ran off when a huge storm hit. It doesn’t usually rain too much in the desert! Or is that “dessert” ?

I was rescued and now I’m safely back in Maungatapere! Thank goodness for that!

Bye for now

Today...

I went to Nikkis house,

First I climbed up a very bit tree it was even harder because it was Round.

Then i climbed up another tree but the fun thing was that i met Nikkis dogs they are soo cooooool.

i climbed even in then Nikki!!!!! but it was scarry. I only got higher because i am lighter.

Then i played Peekaboo with the dogs.

Ohhh I love to drive the car but I almost crashed!!!!

We had a look in the dogs kennel it was cool.

I liked the playhouse too.

Nikki showed me her lamp then she made me a cool clip.

Bye for now

Hi from Lucy's place!

Hi it’s Jodie again!

Last night I stayed at Lucy’s. I am also staying for the holidays because she forgot to take me back to school. Oh well she is very nice so I don’t mind!

We had a blast with the lambs.

Nibbles (the lamb with the blackest face) Polka (the white lamb with a polka dot on her side) Jumbo (the smallest one) made friends with me straight away. I really enjoyed climbing the tree but I needed some help to get down!

I’m really looking forward to the holidays with Lucy and her family.

Speak to you soon

On Friday I came home with Samantha. She had lots planned for us to do. First I meet The Pig, next it was The Kiwi...What a cool place so many animal friends for me to meet. Next I had a ride round the lounge on Lena a little soft toy dog....YEHAH that was fun!!

Saturday was a busy day, we had to get ready for a party at Samantha's cousins house, he turned 10. I had a jump on the tramp with Samantha and her cousin Jessie, we also went for a BIG walk down their really long drive...phew was I tired! There was lollies and cake and fizzy and more food than I have ever seen. We played hide and go seek, had a spa (well, I watched) but It sure looked like fun!

Sunday was a quiet day but we still had fun! I helped Samantha do a mosaic! She is very clever, she did a butterfly, flowers and lots of different designs on a nice piece of wood! I helped hold the glue bottle, man was it heavy!! Samantha, Mikaela (her littlest sister) climbed trees, we made a playground under the feijoa trees, we even had a firemans pole. Wheeeeeeeeeeee I went really fast, flying down it was so much fun.

Time for me to go to bed

Bye

Hi everyone,

Take care

From Room 2 Waipu primary

4:57 PM by Jodi Giraffe

Jodi visited the famous Waipu Museum with Room 2. She had the privilege of being part of the migration of Scottish immigrants to Waipu. She boarded the 'Margaret' with Rev Norman McLeod and slept on the rough sacking on a very small and uncomfortable bunk. She helped pull up the ropes and she even climbed the masts to look down on the sailing ship. When she reached land she was mascot and umpire to a prestigious tennis match held on the new grass courts at Waipu. What an honour to be part of this historical migration and settlement of Waipu.

Thanks Yaron, hope 4 photos are attached.
