excursions

I have already had 2 excursions at school! One was to a nature reserve, where we did a big walk and saw lots of plants but no animals, except for tracks. We couldn't tell what animals they were, even the teachers.  Today I went to the Muttart Conservatory! There are 4 glass pyramids and underneath are different zones. One is the arid (dry) pyramid, one is the tropical pyramid, one is the temperate (figs were growing there) pyramid and the feature pyramid. You're possibly wondering what the feature pyramid is: it is a mixture of flowers and trees, the flowers are the ones you would find in people's gardens. There were a couple of interesting things: #1 I was allowed to take home a petunia in a pot! #2 there was a cactus that was called old man cactus because it had white hair all over it and there was so much hair you could not see the plant!!!

In answer to your questions, bison are about 1.5m tall and 2m long (my guess) and weigh 460-907 kg (according to Ask.com). They seem quite friendly and calm.
Hawaiian pizzas have been a disappointment! The last one I had was pretty average. It had too much bland cheese and not enough yummy pineapple. The one before was halal, so it had pretend bacon made from chicken. 
At school we don't have to wear uniforms! YAY!!!!! They call tiggy "tag", either way it is exactly the same. There are rabbits on the school grounds, they have long ears and long legs and are tame. 
Over here the mornings are freezing and the afternoons are hot. Sometimes the days are wet and cold. Overall it is a bit better than a Melbourne winter. Inside the houses it is boiling and sometimes just right.
 I found a cool coin with something missing on the coin on the right! see if you can find it!
I had a spa bath 2 nights ago and put shampoo in the bath and the jets made so many bubbles the bath almost overflowed with bubbles. Andrew thought it was scary, Elaine thought it was fun and a bit scary and I thought it was really fun.
and once again. thanks for all your comments!
