Guinea Pigs

Today, we were super lucky because Hannah and her dad, Mr Woods, brought in Kowhai and Rosie to visit us. So we didn't scare our visitors, we had to sit very quietly, use whispering voices and be very gentle when we patted them.

Fluffy guinea pigs! They are adorable. They looked spiky and fluffy. I felt like a robber. I wanted to steal them. Their names are Rosie and Kowhai. They were nervous because they were shivering. Their skin was ginger and black. My favourite one was Kowhai because Kowhai had pointy nails that looked like a knife. When Kowhai looked at me she said, tkktkktkk.

Hannah and Mr Woods brought their gorgeous guinea pigs to school. Their names are Kowhai and Rosie. They are very cute! If I would be able to hold one it would be very soft and cuddly. We couldn’t hold one because they would be scared. We patted them with two fingers. We didn’t pat with five fingers because we would have scared them. We are like giants to the guinea pigs. Kowhai was going squeak squeak when she was nibbling a carrot.

Wow! The guinea pigs came today. Their names are Kowhai and Rosie. I almost fainted because they were so cute! I wanted to keep them. They look spiky. There were dark brown and white. Hannah picked up the guinea pig and she got guinea pig hair all over her Parkvale School jumper. Kowhai was shivering. Rosie was shivering slowly because everyone was staring at her. They chattered to us. They said, “squeak squeak,” and twitched their noses.
