Wow what a very lucky class we are! Today Mandy (Tom's Mum) came to visit Room 8 and bought some very special visitors with her, two Nelson Green Gecko's. Mandy has been looking after the gecko's and very kindly bought them to school to share with the children. Mandy told us lots of interesting things about native New Zealand gecko's and about her special dog Puti who is trained to find gecko's! We were able to carefully touch the gecko's bumpy, lumpy skin and to feel their claws on our skin which are specially designed for climbing trees. We had so many questions to ask about gecko's that we could have had Mandy here all afternoon! Thank you so much Mandy for a very special visit.
