When I grow up, I’m
going to play for… the ALL BLACKS
Jack imagines what
it would be like to step out of the tunnel: banners ripple through the air, the
crowd chants his name. No doubt about it, this little All Blacks fan is heading
for the big time, because when he grows up, he wants to be an All Black.
Tom Gates Extra special treats (not)
It's really cold
outside and we're all hoping it's going to snow. Yeah! Derek and I could make a
snow Rooster and have a snowball fight (look out, Delia!). Granny Mavis has
started to knit me a new winter jumper, but by the looks of things I'm not sure
it's going to fit…

Motiti Blue and the
Oil Spill
Bilingual text in Te
Reo Maori.
On 5 October 2011 a large container ship grounded on a reef off the coast of the Bay of Plenty, spilling an estimated 350 tonnes of heavy fuel oil into the ocean.
The impact was devastating, not only for the people of the area, but for the many thousands of birds and sea creatures who were covered in the toxic oil.

spill from the Rena shipwreck. Describes his rescue, the treatment he had at
the Te Maunga Oiled Wildlife Response Unit and his release back into the wild.
Elizabeth, Queen of the Seas
An inspiring story of an elephant seal who knew
exactly where she belonged.
Here is the incredible story of Elizabeth, a real-life elephant seal who made her home in the Avon River in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. When Elizabeth decides to stretch out across a two-lane road, the citizens worry she might get hurt or cause traffic accidents, so a group of volunteers tows her out to sea. But Elizabeth swims all the way back to Christchurch. The volunteers catch her again and again—each time towing her farther, even hundreds of miles away—but, still, Elizabeth finds her way back home.
