Meeting Mike the Park Ranger and Food for Thought Print

Meeting Mike the Park RangerToday everyone had their 3rd day of Naplan, this time it was maths and most found it rather dull.

One thing that everyone enjoyed was having ranger Mike come in and share his knowledge and stories about being a park ranger. He was very enjoyable to listen to and it was good to hear about the many different things he does as park ranger. We also got to see his pet water dragon Steve, which everyone really enjoyed. 

However, for most the worst part of the day was food for thought.  The majority of us were peasants and were left without lunch which was difficult for most to cope with. Although we understood the message that the teachers were trying to get across about world hunger and poverty, many of the students were too tired and hungry to understand.
