Our new arrivals have their first school visit

Last week the Mrs Lala and the children from room 19 came to kindergarten to donate us some shredded paper and so wood. We always love these connections with Botany Downs school. While they were visiting we mentioned that our guinea pig was about to have babies. The children were so excited that we promised to bring the babies over for a visit when they arrived. I asked the children where Room 19 was. They decided that they would draw a map and that Baneet would bring it to kindergarten when she came to collect her sister. What a great map with excellent written instructions as well. Wednesday was the day that suited us all for a visit. Mia, Jessica and Jayden helped to put Cookie and the babies into a carry cage. We packed our map. The weather looked a bit dodgy so we needed to get the show on the road. We remembered to take the snuggle bags too. As we we passed Room 10 Mrs Richards called out to us to see if we could visit their classroom too. Mrs Richards knew about the babies because her grandson Connor comes to our kindergarten. There were so many of our old kindergarten children in the class that we just about knew everyone .... and of course, Archie's Mum is a teacher at our kindergarten. Then it was time to look at the map again and follow the directions to Room 19. What an accurate map. Thanks room 19. Mia, Jessica and Jayden helped to show the guinea pigs to the children. We discussed their size, what they eat and how they are different to rabbits. We even talked about the fact that people in South America eat guinea pigs! What great sharing.
