Feeding Rumble and Marigold

Today we had the opportunity to feed our school rabbits Rumble and Marigold.




Mrs Rogers introduced us to our new school rabbit Marigold. We were able to gently stroke Marigold.






Last term for Social Studies we learnt about farming and how a farmer needs to be responsible when growing plants.




We are learning to write Compound sentences with conjunctions.

Sam - "Today we fed the rabbits but they did not eat our leaves."

Raynah - "Komal was scared of touching Marigold because she thought Marigold would scratch her yet she wasn't scared of feeding Rumble."

Ziggy - "Room 20 fed Rumble but he didn't eat the leaves from our garden."

Zak - "We first had to listen to Mrs Rogers so we knew what to do."

Bilal - "They didn't eat our rainbow silverbeet so instead we left the silverbeet."
