Hi pod 9 whanau, Here is the chicken clip from today.

Hi my name is Jett Mephan I'm this weeks blog master .  I love fishing and driving my Dad's boat .I also play soccer for  Kamo falcons. I like visiting new places. My favourite place to go on the boat is is the Hen and Chicken Islands. At home I love go on my quad bike and play with my lego and practise basic facts tests.

This is King Goldy our new class pet. He loves to eat fish flakes you know the ones that smell like dog food. As you can see he is a boy. his favourite game is fishy express. I rescued him from nearly getting eaten. He will give you support even thought he can’t talk. He is as nice as your mum hugging you. Splash splosh his tail shakes like a dog wagging his tail in the water. By Jarian.
