Wonderful Wednesday in Team Toru!

We had a great day of learning in Team Toru today!  For our Writing we had a picture to think about... it was a picture of a monkey with a whole lot of bananas.  Then Mrs G introduced a special visitor from Team Tekau - George!  Thank you to Team Tekau for sharing George with us this morning :-) 

George is related to the baby monkey in the picture - he even came along with his own yellow banana!  

Here are some of the great stories from our fabulous class - 

Luke - The cheeky monkey is stealing my banana.

Corban - "I am not going to share my bananas.  These are my bananas" said the cousin monkey.

Fenton - I like the monkey.  It is cute.

Lily - "The cheeky monkey is going to steal my bananas" said the monkey.  My bananas now.

Joshie - The cheeky monkey is stealing the bananas.  Oo aa oo aa.  The monkey is so funny.

Abi - I don't like the monkey because the cheeky monkey went in my house and took the nana and I didn't like that because its very very naughty.

Shyne - The monkey is cheeky.

Herana - I like my cheeky monkey.
