After gathering lots of information about pets, Room 3 were now in a position to start sorting and sifting through the information, we started to make informed choices about the animal we would like as a pet. We went on Trade Me and Pet store websites to find out the costs for; cages, food, and the animal we wanted to get. There was a lot of discussion about the suitability of an animal around children (meaning it couldn't be an animal that might attack us). The students then got together with other students in class who wanted the same pet, they then as a group had to come up with an argument for the pet that they wanted - cost was a big consideration and the amount of space an animal would need.
Finally we made the decision and it came down to a vote - a bunny rabbit won by far!!!
We then rang Whiti Farm Park to see if they had a rabbit and they did a baby miniature lop rabbit. Yahoo!
Miss Browning picked her up at the weekend, she is so cute.

We named her Toffee. There are 3 people who care for her each day at school, making sure she has enough food and water. She is very loved by all the students in Room 3.
