Plitvicka Lakes , can you find us?

We are in an absolutely beautiful place which is part of the National park. I saw a snake - it was about 15 cm long and it was quite fat. I was told it wasn t really a snake but a ˝blind snake˝ as it doesnt have any fangs or teeth. We were walking along havigng just finished awalk through this forest and by these very famous lakes and waterfalls and I just saw it in the grass. It gave Bumble quite a fright and I was little surprised also. At lunch today we vitisteda place with a restaurant and out the back they had two bear cubs. Their mother had been killed and they had been given special permission to keep them. I felt a little sorry for them.
Last night we stayed in a place called Split and tomorrow we are off to Bled. I have been texting lots of people but it seems that only some of their texts are getting through but I will keep texting just to let people know Bumble, Pauline and I are getting on okay. Pauline and Bumble have become quite close friends adn she ahs introduced him to anumber of people who have wanted to know about him. He squeaks away quite politely.

I hope everyone is working hard at school and having fun learning.

Hello Jane, Pauline and Bumble, Pleased to hear you are having an eventful and happy time. YES, we are working VERY hard at school, so we are having to keep up the brain food and brain juice. The four teachers learning sign language have all completed and past the course. This week is NZSL week and in assembly there will be sign language activity. We are watching your travels on the map and can see that you are covering a lot of ground. We have been sending regular text messages so are very sorry to hear that you may not be getting them. Best wishes for wonderful days. JD

Hello Miss Culhane. We are writing to you for shared writing today. It is raining here today so we didn't get to play outside. Is Bumble OK? Is Bumble being good? We hope you are having a good time. we have been learning about koru patterns in art. We have been learning about how the maori people lived. We even did some paintings of Maui. Mrs Vincent is enjoying reading your blog. From Room 22
