He was basking, taking in the sun's rays. He drew quite a crowd wondering who he was.
On the way home we took Cuddly Kiwi have a look at Caerphilly Castle - world renowned for it's leaning tower (which you can see behind his head in the photograph).
We have just got home from an awesome conversation with Dino and Bella who are in Cefn Fforest School in Wales. Mr H's class came in early to school and we came back at half past seven at night time and we had a good old chin wag. Mr B lent us his new computer with a video camera in it so we could see each other as well as talk to each other. It was so good to see that Dino and Bella are doing so well. Thanks guys.
Dino and his sister Bella made it to Cefn Fforest, very early this morning ( at around 8.20a.m.) They are in the UK on holiday before returning to via a break in Malta ( by the pool) back to New Zealand.
It worked out really well from both sides (11,000 miles or so apart) - in New Zealand parents and pupils waited excitedly, while in Wales we waited excitedly for dino and Bella to arrive. The Skype chat lasted for about 30 minutes before we had to let our friends in New Zealand go to bed!!
Dino and Bella then came into our assembly at 9.15 ( Dino took loads of photo's) and they told us something about New Zealand and the things that they get up to there - they both spoke very confidently to around 200 children ( a compliment to their teachers I am sure). Before finally heading off laden down with presents and cards from their friends in Wales.
Today Ryan, Kieran and Elliott were in charge of the podcasting. This is how we do the podcasting sessions. Here is the link to their podcast about Ryan's go-karting trophies
On Monday my Mum had a baby boy. His name is Luke. He is really cute. In his sleep he makes goo gaa noises. Mum had him at 3:00 in the morning. He came out bright red. Mum said he stuck out like a sore thumb.
This is Luke when he is just waking up. He will hold on to that toy in his hand all day.
This is us trying to get the lid of the boxes. 
Kyle had a good look down the case for the water clarity tube to make sure we have got all the bits!
Here is the gear for testing the river. One day one of our parents will take us down in groups to the river to do some testing.
These are our Christmas stamps we did them for our homework and they are entered in a competition. This is Georgie's stamp. It is a picture of two girls sharing mince pies.
This is Jordan's stamp of a Christmas present.
This is Jordan's as well. She did two entries.
Georgina's Christmas pukeko is in Santa boots and Santa hat!
This is Susa's Christmas kiwi. It has got ferns for its feathers.
On Friday Midnight came to my house. We had lots of fun. We took some photos of him eating my hazelnuts. He liked my house. He was afraid of my horse, Sam.
Miss K
Will, a blogging buddy from Cefn Fforest School in Wales, took our travelling toy home with him when he visited his grandma.
Here is a really cool LOUD website that looks at reading and spelling games. It is called Game Goo- Learning That Sticks. Rachel from Nelson Central School thought it was good shared it with us. Thanks Rachel.
He taught us how to kick the ball lots of times on your foot and also how to dribble the ball.
We introduced him to Travelling Ted and Mini-Dylan from Wales. They liked him. He is now part of the family.
This is all of them around the bear books in the library.
Then he marched and worked with the class. He had a chance to meet a French soldier, a colonel, and a couple of Native American scouts.
He lifted logs and stood in formation, he even used a gun. When he got tired he took a ride on a private's hat. He even took a ride on our drum.
Thanks Makiya. That was an excellent recount of what you did on your day out at Fort Stanwix.
Here is the text of a letter I got in my email tonight! Remember when we entered the competition last term when we tried to monitor the health of the Appleby River??? We sent in our results and guess what???
We would like the children in Cefn Fforest School in Wales to name the silver coloured one.
And for the children in Mrs S's class in Binghamton School New York to name the gold coloured one. And we will name the other gold one with a black tip at the end of its tail.
I do tae-kwan-do and I got a yellow belt because I got two certificates.
When Miss K came to school every thing was the same but at 9:30 we had a surprise for her.
This is the card we made for her from inside it.
Raewyn and Jenny made this for Miss K so everyone would know it was Miss K's birthday today!
And we all stood by the sign after we had decorated Miss K.
We had signs all over the school teling people about the party.
Raewyn made Miss K this VERY cool birthday cake! Isn't it spiffy. The screen is from Kid Pix, the keyboard has letters on it and look at the mouse and the mouse cord. It is cool that cake.
