Dolbel Reserve Trip


We walked up Dolbel Reserve. When we got to the top we had morning tea and looked down at our community: Taradale. We could see, the school, snow on the mountains and the sea. Then we walked back down to school.


Cats Story


My cats name is Dash. He is soft and cuddly!! He brings me presents. The presents stink. He is orange with yellow stripes and he is as soft as a blanket. Dash sleeps in mytop bunk. I put him on the tramp and bounce it a little. He scratches poles.
