A Special Visitor to Our Class

We have had an exciting start to term 3. This week we had 3 special visitors to our school all the way from Wisconsin in America. We were lucky to have Mrs Oulahan in our class for the week. She was learning lots of things about what teaching was like in New Zealand.

Aidan, Herbert, Georgia and Hannah interviewed her. She shared some interesting information about her school with us. There were some things that were the same and many things that were different. Listen to what she had to say…..


Thanks for visiting us Mrs Oulahan! We enjoyed having you in our class!
