Binky the goat is as cute as a lamb. Binky is really small and we're really tall. It was funny when he peed because it was for a long time. It was cool when we fed him. I was surprised that he felt funny. He was as white as a snow flake. It would be nice if I saw a girl goat. His feet were dirty when he was walking around. His nose is as pink as a pig and his eyes are bluey.

On Wednesday Mrs Rehmann brought her baby goat Binky to school for us to feed and to look at him. At brain break some people got to feed him and some people got to feed him at play time. Binky is white as snow and cute and he is so tiny. If your legs are apart he walks through them like you are a tunnel. Binky's mum doesn't feed him.

Egbert's Diary

Tena Koutou

Well, we are all here in Invercargill. And to think it was only yesterday that my new ambassador friends and I were all hanging out together – on the washing line! You see, we all had to be washed in a special antiviral solution before going to Whenua Hou because there is a chance that we may be carrying an unwanted pest, disease or weed species, which is a threat to the biodiversity values of the island. Andrew said I am a pest - only because I was snoring a bit loudly last night!
This is now the farthest south I have ever been. Of course tomorrow we will be even further south, on Codfish Island! Well, weather permitting. Keep your fingers, arms and legs crossed!
Best

Tahi's Diary

Hello everyone
I am glad we are here in Invercargill now. We had a pretty bumpy ride in the aeroplane. Invercargill is a nice little city. It has lots of parks and historic buildings. We had time for a stroll around town and a bite to eat at a cafe. The sun was out and even though it was quite windy we all had an enjoyable time.
Tonight we are staying at a place called Te Shiny Paua. I really want to get a good nights sleep tonight so I am fully prepared for a big day tomorrow. First up will be quarantine, then it's off in a little plane to Codfish Island. Yippee, I can hardly wait!
Till tomorrow.

Biggles' Diary

Tuesday 15 September 2009

Hi everyone

I am glad we are here in Invercargill now. Finally Andrew has finished washing all the gear, as well as us! Cookie was rather nervous about the whole procedure. He was worried he might lose his kookaburra laugh. It's still there though.
We had a pretty bumpy ride to Invercargill in the aeroplane. I blamed Australia because they were westerly winds that came from that direction. Cookie was not amused. Anyway, we are here and the sun is shining. We are all very hopeful about getting onto Whenua Hou tomorrow.
Talk to you then.

Learnz Field Trip

The field trip is underway now. We got the first Diary comment from Andrew this morning. He told us all about the trip to Invercargill and the sightseeing he did with all the ambassadors. Ambassadors are little soft toys which some schools sent along the trip. Unfortunately, we counldn't send Kakasis (Kakabro's sister who is with us until Kakabro gets back from Canada) because she's a bit too big and too heavy. But we enjoyed reading the ambassadors diary comments as well.

Read Legs' Diary entry:

Tuesday 15 September 2009

Yesterday, the ambassadors and I all had to be washed in Trigen antiviral disinfectant. I have heard of washing your mouth out with soap and water but this was something else! Mind you I feel squeaky clean now and am glad I will be allowed to go to Codfish Island.
Anyway, we are here in Invercargill for the night. We went for a walk through the city today. I really enjoyed looking around the Fire Museum. I think I would be a good fire fighter. I mean, think how many hoses I could hold!
Tonight we are staying at a place called Te Shiny Paua. Egbert keeps calling it Te Soggy Oyster! We are all keen on a good nights sleep tonight so we are fully prepared for a big day tomorrow.
Talk to you then.

Term 3 Inquiry

We have started Term 3 by immersing ourselves into our new topic 'New Zealand native animals and plants'. Our big idea for this term is

Native animals and plants are unique to New Zealand.

We have been writing down our questions and wonderings about our native animals and plants. Further, we visited the South Canterbury Museum in Timaru with its excellent exhibition 'Cold blooded locals'. The children learnt many new things about skinks and geckos.
Watch this space as the children report on their inquiry.

We will be looking at what kind of services and community organisations there are in Waimate, and what clubs the children are part of. This fits into our Big Idea ‘Identity’ this year.

Kakabro
Our little Kakapo soft toy has been on holiday with me. He goes home with a different child each day. We now have a book to record Kakabro’s adventures, and a Kakapo book to read to/with him. I hope your child enjoys their time with Kakabro when it is their turn. Watch this space for Kakabro's adventures.

Welcome to Ruma Kakapo - Term 1 2009
