Once again some children at Owairaka have come to the aid of a lost bird. I love the way you are so caring and kind to birds that are not behaving 'normally.' Whea Puhi is becoming our Retriever - she fetches the birds and brings them to me to take care of. She has retrieved a Tui, a Cooks Petrel and now an endangered Barriband Parakeet or Superb Parrot. He was returned to his owner after Sarah found a notice about the lost bird on Facebook. He had been lost for 5 days. His name is COCO - which translated into english means 'friend'. Definitely what I would call a group effort.
Welcome to the Cottage blog! My name is Mrs Johns and I support students at Owairaka District School who are new to NZ and are learning the English Language. This blog is a space where I share all types of experiences we have at our school and what were have been learning about. Please leave positive, thoughtful and helpful comments to help prompt our students to communicate in a fun and enjoyable way.

A Volcano
Kauri will be able to do this easily because they have been studying Volcanoes. If you have an older brother or sister get them to help you come up with some incredibly descriptive words.
