Mrs Rehmann brought her goat to school. Binky was really loud. Binky's nose is pink his fur is as white as snow and feels like a cloud. Binkys eyes are brown. I think Binky is cheeky because he looked up my skirt. Binky is cuter than our pet lambs.
Everyone crowded around Binky when he went toilet.

Welcome to Term 4!
Welcome back to another term of learning.
Today we had a little goat kid at school. His name is Binky, and his mother didn't feed him properly so now he will be handraised. Because he is only 3 days old he needs to be fed every 2-3 hours. The children enjoyed feedig and patting 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!

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.

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.

Hi from Canada
Yesterday we when up the Calgary Tower. It was very high and I could see all around the city. There also was a glass floor where we stood on and you could see the roads down on the ground. We are having a great time and Kakabro is to.
