Whaea Debbie brought Lizzie the bearded dragon into Team Awa for a visit.

Our Te Reo lesson took a bit of a turn as we learnt about some of the fruits and vegetables Lizzie likes to eat like āporo (apple), Kāpeti (cabbage) and kāroti (carrot).

Team Awa worked really hard to stay quiet so we wouldn't scare Lizzie and we were even gentle enough to feel her spikes and spines.

We learnt that bearded dragons can puff themselves up to make themselves look stronger if they are scared. You can see a couple of photos of us being puffed up bearded dragons.
