Rosies' Recount On Wednesday 11th of February room 1’s teacher Mr McBride was teaching room 1 about Rosie our bird the first thing Mr McBride did was he showed us how to clean the poop at the bottom of the cage.

Mr McBride had to choose a volunteer to pull the tray out from the bottom of the cage with contained news-paper which had poop on it. Mr McBride then chose Thomas.

He told him to pull out the tray at the bottom of the cage, pick the paper up and put it in the bin. I took lots of great of great photos because I was the class photographer.

After Thomas finished cleaning the cage Mr McBride took the cage round to the back of room 5&6 where the tap was. Mr McBride was about to teach us how to clean Rosie’s cage. First Mr McBride turned the hose on but had it on a very weak power because if it was strong it might have hurt Rosie then Mr McBride put his finger on the end of the hose pipe to make a nice shower for Rosie.

After Rosie and her cage had a nice wash we took her in front of room 1 and there Mr McBride taught us how to blow on her seeds to clean them. I took lots of good photos of that because it looked like the boys were blowing kisses.

Soon after that we brought Rosie back inside to let her out of her cage. You could tell lots of the boys were excited but with Cameron it wasn’t so true you could tell he was pretty scared. Mr McBride first went over the rules about letting Rosie out of her cage. And finally when he finished he opened her cage and took Rosie out of it she jumped out of her cage and flew majestically around the room over and over again then she finally came to a stop above the curtain we were amazed of how she could stick to the walls with her claws.

Then when Mr McBride gave her a little push to come down she flew around the room once more and this time got herself attached to the wall only this time above the sheet that told you what to do in a fire drill.

At this time you could tell some of us were extremely amazed and you could tell some of us were not so amazed like Cameron because he was hiding under the table. When Mr McBride got Rosie down with a lacrosse stick she went and landed on Jacks head Jack suddenly turned red as like he was blushing. Then Rosie landed on lots of other boys heads by this time Cameron had left to watch from outside the classroom.

When Rosie landed on Guy’s head and started to eat his wax everyone started to say she was eating nits. After a while she flew around the room again and this time landed on Declans’ head Mr McBride then started to say that something was coming out of Rosie’s behind nothing was actually coming out but Declan didn’t know that so he started saying “get it off! Get it off!” Then we told Declan that we kidding and he stopped worrying.

Then Rosie did one more hop onto Josh Hs’ head and Mr McBride told him to stand by the cage to put Rosie back in.

Mr McBride had to give her a little push to get her in. once she was in he closed the cage.

At the end of the day I think everyone enjoyed having Rosie out except Cameron that is. I also took lots of great photos’. Anyway that’s what happened in room 1 Wednesday 11th February 2009
