I found a thread and needle in the draw and found some stuffing in the cupboard at home.Sadly we didn't start wood work this week, but next week we are doing Monday Tuesday and Friday. On Friday at school we had a farewell assembly for our Japanese students even though they are leaving next week Tuesday morning. I hope they had a good time here and have a good trip home back to Japan.Today I did Junior Farmer with Sam and Ella. Junior Farmer is a event that Pokuru school hold every year this is the seventh year they have done it.We were minions for it and we won best dressed, and got a twenty dollar movie voucher each.
