On Fiday we had a woman come into our school with some animals and she called her company Animal Magic. We were just about to read our class novel “The Blurred Man” when the Sandness school arrived and then we lined up at the door of our classroom. After that we went up to the gym hall to see the animals that she had brought in with her. She brought a snake, a scorpion, a toad, 2 crickets, a giant millipede and an african albino hedgehog to show us. Everyone got to hold the animals and found the hedgehog especially cute.  everybody in the class even held the turantula she brought in which some people including Mrs Langly thought was pretty scary.  After that it was nearly dinner time so we had our break time and read some of the class novel. After lunch then we had to bring the tables down from the art room and re-arrange the classroom. Then we had golden time, where Stephanie made a really good dog out of lego, and went home.
