I met Pesky Possum and Clara Kaka

I decided it was time to take off towards the mountains.

On the way there I met some cool mates. I was trying to sleep at the bottom of a tree when this noisy, scratchy, chattery and annoying thing kept me awake. His eyes lit up in the dark and he kept telling me to climb on up the tree to keep him company. I told him I don't need to climb because I have wings and I can fly up there. He introduced himself as Pesky and he said he was a possum thats why he was awake at night, because he was nocturnal a night time worker. He also said he had a cool school that he visited in Dunedin. When we got talking about our rooms and our teachers we realised they knew each other - how funny is that?

Pesky also told me about some of the things he use to do in the classroom. He did some of the same stuff I did before I realised it was naughty. He pulled stuff off the desks, ripped things up took peoples things and made lots of mess. I remember doing that but that was when I was younger and now I know better.

While we were chatting we met another friend, Clara. Clara looks a lot like me. She is beautiful, has green feathers and a strong beak and is related to me but she is not a Kea. She is a Kaka. Clara is a native bird like me but she is a bit smaller and lives in the forest.

Pesky and I told her about our classes and she said she wanted an adventure like we have had so she was going to come and visit you.

I wonder if she has been to see you yet? I told her which classroom and how to get in. I also told her she has to be good if she visits because Room 5 is the very best class in the Whole Wide World and we look after our things and each other.

Can you let me know if you see her and please look after her because she is very young and needs to learn a lot about the Pekerau Way.

My travels

Hi everyone

I hope you have been really busy and doing more cool stuff in our class. I have been busy flitting around visiting new places and meeting new friends.

I came back on a big aeroplane that was coming back to New Zealand. I thought all aeroplanes landed in Auckland so I thought I would see that really tall place in Auckland when we were flying in to land.

I got a bit confused because I couldn't see it but I saw lots of blue water and some big mountains that had white stuff on it. It looked like ice cream - yum. I could also see some big things on the water and I heard someone call them boats and the ferry.

I wonder if you know where I might be?

photos please

Hi there everyone
Can you give Mrs Mitchell some of our photos from all of our trips around. It would be good to show what I have been doing with you and where I have been.
Thanks

You are busy

Hi everyone

I have been really busy trying to read all of your stories. I can't believe how they have changed and some are really really exciting. Some are also very spooky and scary. I wish I could have written one but I think my beak might have got too sore.
Thank you to everyone who has taken me to their houses for the weekend or on a school night. I liked the way you have been making changes to your cars and have been really discussing the problems with your cars with your dads or grandparents. Very cool. Your families have lots of great ideas for you to try.

I liked the way you could tell the Room 6 people what you were doing and that I had to be safe in it. I heard Mrs Mitchell say that I won't be at school for the big final test in week 10. I was sad because I thought I wouldn't get a chance to test drive everyones cars - I like being the crash test dummy (I mean bird). After all I am courageous, brave and inquisitive.
I am not too sure if my friend in Room 6 will be as brave as I am but It would be cool with me if he wants to give the driving a go while I am away in America. I'm going to Disneyland - I wonder what I will see there? It sounds exciting.

I will try and send a message from America if I get near a computer. I know Ashton will take lots of photos of us.
