Bucky Visits Xandra

Hi!

My name is Xandra. I am 10 years old and I am studying at Mt. Warren Park State School in Mrs. Ferguson’s class.

I have two brothers named Angelo and Nick. Angelo is studying also at Mt Warren Park and Nick is at Beenleigh High School. We have four cats and one dog at home named Misty, Fred, Emily, Little Girl and Haidy.

I brought Bucky home after school and I let my dad read about Bucky. They were impressed. My dad took our photo with Bucky, my brothers and my mum.

Bucky and I played violin and later on we had a snack. I will sleep with Bucky tonight.

Bucky Visits Ryan

Hello. My name is Ryan. Yesterday I brought Bucky home to spend the night with me and my family. On the way home we picked up my big sister Bryar. She is in year 8 and goes to high school. Her school is in Yatala which is about 10 minutes from my school. We live and go to school in Mt Warren Park . On the drive to Yatala we see lots of gum trees. We look for koalas and kangaroos but we didn’t see any today.

When we got home Bucky and I had lamingtons with our juice. My other sister, Jenna, and I then showed Bucky our baby guinea pig.

Bucky then went for another ride with me to my first guitar lesson with Angus. Mum said he reminds her of Angus Young from AC/DC.

After my lesson we came home and I played for a bit then practised what I had learnt.

When it was time for bed Bucky got frightened by the kookaburras in the gum trees near our home. He was so scared that he wanted to sleep in my bed with me. I said “No worries, mate!”

We had a great time and in the morning we got ready for school. I couldn’t wait to tell the rest of the class about our adventures.

Katie and Her Joey have arrived in Wisconsin

Katie and her Joey arrived in Wisconsin of February 15th, 2008. The children did not have school on this day so they were not here when our guests arrived. I had parent conferences in the mornings. When I went to the office to check my mailbox, there was a note that said I had a package on the shelf.  I was so glad to have our guest arrive all the way “from” AUSTRALIA!!!  Now I am wondering if Bucky has made it “to” Australia.  It is very cold here in Wisconsin. The temperature is -8 C  and we are expecting another snow storm this weekend. We are going to have to think about making some warm clothes for Katie to wear. All she has on is a little vest and a hat! This will certainly not keep her warm her in cold, frigid Wisconsin!

Hello Mt. Warren! We are so happy to be sharing a blog with you. We are a group of 21 second graders in Mrs. Nash’s classroom. We have a class webpage located at:

We are so happy to be participating in a class pet exchange program! Today it is 22 degrees F. The temperature will be -2 tomorrow. Right now Australia sounds like the right place to be. We are a bit envious of Bucky “BADGER” . Mrs. Nash has always wanted to visit Australia, but since she can’t make it, Bucky will visit for her Hopefully he will enjoy his stay there. We are eager to learn about his travels. We can’t wait for Katie and her Joey to arrive.Mrs. Nash’s class

Mt Warren Park says Hi

We are 4KF and we go to Mt Warren Park State School in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. We have 25 children in our class and most of us are 9 years old. Our teacher is Mrs. Ferguson.

Brisbane is on the east coast of Australia. The weather here is quite tropical. It is humid in Summer and this is when it rains most. Right now we are in the middle of a drought and we have to be very careful with water. We cannot use hoses at all and can only shower for 4 minutes. It is Summer right now, though Autumn starts next week.

Our class loves to play games. We like to go out for PE and we like singing. Right now we are learning the song “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story. We are going to perform it on parade in a few weeks.

Next week we start swimming and we will go to swimming lessons every day for 2 weeks. we can’t wait!
