Mice

Today in class we voted for a person to go and get the mice from Nature Land with Dave at lunch time. Stella won.
When we were playing 4 square at lunch time today I saw Stella coming back with a mouse cage in her hand. I rushed into the classroom to see the mice. There were two females and one male. The male is long haired and has creamy brown splotches on his white coat. His name is Flip.
The short haired brown female is called Oats. The other female (my personal favourite) is called Inky. She is long haired and has dark grey blotches on her back, sides and base of her tail. She has white fur.
We mucked around with the mice a bit at first since the bell hadn't rung and one ran up Hannah's sleeve! Once the bell rang we swiftly placed the mice in their cage before the shouting stampede of rampaging children came hurtling through the door. The race to wash hands again.
Dave told us to form a circle on the mat and Stella brought the mice to the mat one by one for us to pass around. I didn't get a go with the short haired brown female though. :(  They were so sweet the way the scampered over your hands, up your arms and onto your neck.
Then we put the mice back and had the vote for the names. We decided on Flip, Oats and Inky.

I hope I'm not allergic to mice.
