Max at Riverview







On 16th June Max the Monkey visited the 5.2 class at Riverview. It was a wet and rainy day so he just tagged along with us to our classes. We told him how we all went to Chinatown last week and had Yum Cha which is all sorts of Chinese food. He would have especially liked the spring rolls and the dumplings. We had jelly to finish the meal. Some boys ate so much they were sick. We also visited the Chinese Gardens and Dickson Street to do some shopping.

Andrew and Ned then took Max to the computer lab and taught him how to use Google earth. He found all the places he has travelled to around the world, which is a lot actually. We looked at all the places he has been on his blog.

At lunchtime we talked to him about soccer. Bailey taught him some tricks, he was very good at it and then he taught me some tricks but it was very hard. I think I am better at rugby but we had a great day talking and playing and having fun with him.

Then we took him to music lessons with us. He tried the violin and the cello but he definitely liked the drums the best. We all had fun. He’s a great monkey. We had a bit of an accident on the way back in all the rain and mud. Nick slipped over and was covered in mud – and he was holding Max. He tried to save him but our teacher is going to wash him and his jacket tonight before he leaves Riverview.

It is a pity he could not go with us to the school snow trip next week because there is a lot of snow falling. We liked having Max visit. Hope his next place is fun.
