Grade 6 - TEARS Outing

On Thursday 28 July, the Grade 6's went on an outing to TEARS.

Enjoy some of the thoughts and poems written about the outing!

"Today we went to TEARS. I absolutely loved it. My favourite part was seeing the dogs and puppies. The puppies were adorable - one of the moms had 13 puppies! They were all kinds of awesome and cute breeds. We then went to go and see the cats. Actually we saw the cats first but everything was awesome!" ~ Krissy ~

"Being with the cats was really fun. I was amazed by how friendly the cats were. We played and stroked them. What I loved most was the puppies. I know it sounds like any child who has seen them! The joy it gave me to see that my aunts best friend, Emma's charity had changed lives.  Emma died in a car crash and left all her money to TEARS.  We were looking for a special pup to take home. I love seeing Shala "my pup from TEARS" on the adopted board. TEARS is a patch of heaven that changes lives. There was a starving mom with 13 pups and TEARS gave them a home. I hope we can visit again." ~ Michaela ~

"TEARS, well, I enjoyed TEARS. I can really say I had tears of joy when I saw Vanilla, she was the kindest cat ever and she loved me. She may not look pretty but inside she is something else. It's true when people say don't judge a book by its cover - with Vanilla her inside is something else." ~ Fiki ~


"Andre: Hey George, who was your favourite?
George: George of course, who else would it be?
Andre: I don't know, maybe that black one?
George: No! Not that one. It hated me!
Andre: I think you were just scared.
George: Fine. Who was your favourite?
Andre: Those ones that look like Mincie.
George: Oh, I thought so.
Andre: Maybe they are siblings?
George: Maybe they are......"

"We went in to see the dog kennels and we walked around and there were big dogs, little dogs and baby dogs about 7 months old. We came across a lot of puppies and a mom and when they took the mother out of her kennel, the baby dogs went for the milk and they had to stop them. It was funny to see there were teenager dogs. The teenager dogs were 7 months to 1 year." ~ Lee ~

"Today I went to TEARS and I saw such cute little cats and lots of dogs. When I went into the cats cage I saw lots of cats and most of them tried to bite me, but it was cool. Although my eyes got very itchy!" ~ Skye ~
