We have had a wonderful visit with our new goldfish friend,
Gill (a.k.a G2). G2 came to visit all the way from Cambridge, Ontario. He is the class mascot of a group of students called the Gill-Villeans.
We have had so much fun showing G2 around our school, community, and even down island. Gill loved making pancakes (he brought the syrup, YUM!), going to the Regional Science Fair, his trip down island, Skyping with the Techie Kids, visiting the community garden and the beach (he wanted to dip a fin in the Pacific Ocean, but we told him it was pretty cold and he changed his mind), riding rides at the fair, egg hunting, getting to know Trev the Kiwi from New Zealand, and spending time with the students!
Gill is on his way to Port Hardy this week where he will make new friends with Mrs. Soltau-Heller’s students. We hope Gill has a fantastic time learning more about the North Island. We’ll be watching G2’s travels on his wiki and have a few last messages for him:
Jordan-I had fun with you when we went to the fair.
Niall-Thanks for coming, Gill. I hope you had a great time!
Sahara-I hope you enjoyed looking at the countryside on our way down island.
Sophie-We’ll miss you!
Ana-I will always remember you and when you came to our class.
Oceana-I hope you have fun on your journey all the way back home.
Lily-I hope you have a good time in Port Hardy.
Fay-Bye Gill, have a safe journey!
Karin-Thanks for visiting us!
Jenny-I hope you have a great time!
Silkence-Have a nice time in Port Hardy.
What do you think Gill’s favourite thing about his visit was?
If you are not from our town, what would you like to see or do if you came for a visit?
