Kelly Tarlton's Antarctic Adventure

At Kelly Tarlton's we went on the Antarctic Adventure ride to see the penguins. It was so good that some people went through twice!
After we saw the penguins, we saw  the killer whale catching a seal. It looked real but it's a fake. Blake's Dad worked on making the Killer Whale. We think he did a great job because it looks like a real whale and seal. Isn't he clever?

Snow in Waiuku!

Snow at School!

Today an amazing thing happened at school. Snow!
We looked out the glass door and saw snowflakes floating down from the sky into our playground.

It was amazing because we don’t get snow in Waiuku and most of the class have never ever seen real snow.

It looked beautiful.

We went outside to feel it.

It was falling on our hair and on our raincoats and clothes.

We tried to catch some but it melted on our hands.

It didn’t last for long.

When we came inside it was all gone and we had some snowflakes melting on our clothes.

We had so much fun seeing real snow.  It was awesome!

Our teacher tried to take a photo of us out in the snow. It didn't work very well because the snow was moving so it just looks like rain in the picture.Then the snow stopped and we didn't get another chance for a better photo.
