The Great Mascot Hunt

Last year Miss Barnett found Maisy the Monkey looking lost on the shelves at Nature Discoveries. She thought that Maisy did not look like she was that happy and she needed some real nature discoveries with the children of Room 1. Maisy had such a marvellous year that Miss Barnett was determined to find a really great mascot for 2008.

The great mascot hunt began. Miss Barnett looked again in Nature Discoveries, The Warehouse, Toyworld, Arthur Barnett's, and K Mart and she could not find a great mascot anywhere. When she was driving home she stopped at Mosgiel $2 & Gifts to buy a plastic tablecloth for the playdough table. As she was walking down the aisle of the shop she thought she heard a strange rustling noise in the corner. Miss Barnett walked over to a large cane shelf and spotted a big black and white cat smiling happily to itself. That's it! thought Miss Barnett. That cat is coming with me! And that is how Ralph escaped from the dusty shop shelves and became a valued member of Room 1 at Pine Hill School.
