Budgie Time!



Lucky Larry has flown into our lives. Tell us what you know or have learned about budgies.



Also tell us what you have learned about axolotls. How rare is it for them to breed in captivity?


Do you know if its normal for frogs to hibernate in winter?

How long do goldfish live?




Who was the rat we read about today and what was the author's message?




I hope you enjoy having class pets. Would you like to have chickens for our sustainable garden? If so, what could the benefits be for your learning?




Please answer thoughtfully to justify the inclusion of animals in your slightly peculiar learning programme.

A nice letter from Orangey


Hello Mr. Woodcook,

My name is Orangie and I am a very well behaved, quiet, little to medium sized orange fish – commonly known as a gold fish (but my mother has always told me I am not common in any way).
I currently reside on the Westside of town in a humble but lovely home known as Newcastle heights with my Mum & Dad and brother Kola ( who I knows loves me but sometimes freaks me out by staring at me for long periods of time ). I really love my family, especially my Mum, who is sooooooooo pretty, funny and really intelligent, but sometimes I get a bit lonely in my little corner of the lounge with my one current which only goes around and around.
Mum said that you may know some friends that may want another flat mate. I’d sure like to live with other little to medium fish like me, so I can swim, frolic and shoot the breeze all day & sometimes all nite long. Mum also said that you would make a great guardian as not only are you great friends of my great parents but you also are a school teacher so are very reliable and trustworthy.

If you think you and your little to medium sized friends would like me to move in, my Mum say’s that my Dad could drop me off this week….

I promise I will be no trouble…. But Mum say’s I can’t pressure you, so please don’t feel like you have to adopt me... ( Geeze I think I will miss Mum & Dad but … )


Lots of love “ Orangie “ gup gup gup gup gup gup
